"but I suspect it will still be upvoted and discussed here"
Sometimes when there is a story that is a day or so old it's almost as if it doesn't pay to comment for that exact reason.
Edit: By "exact reason" I mean an old story with 200 comments isn't as attractive to make a comment on as a new story with 15 or 20 comments that is 2 or 3 hours old.

I had a rant about this in another comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6606955 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6606955 As I say, this rampant duplication (which I admit doesn't happen often, but still often enough) offends my sense of taste. I know others don't care, but it irritates me. And now I'm going to have to step away from the keyboard and let it all die down and go away. At least with on-line irritations like this you can just walk away.
