true - ive seen the same story with almost no different facts but from different news sources on the home page multiple times - e.g. when steve jobs passed etc - my point was just about posting a single url - the hn algorithm is typically decent enough. AT the end of the day - if its already been posted - it shouldnt end up getting upvoted much anyways - but in any case - if it makes you feel good - you should keep doing that :)
