I would like to ask laughinghan what sparked the interest in this article? It has been on the front page of HN before (and during laughinghan's tenure on HN), so I am really interested to know the though process about posting it again (it was the same article as before, but with a new link). I have nothing wrong with this being posted again, but I see it over and over again with numerous topics, and I do find it kind of fascinating. At first I thought maybe laughinghan was a newbie on HN, but that's not the case, so this just makes it that much more interesting.

- maxerickson 13y agoI certainly don't think I see every story I would be interested in. I don't even try to see them all. Doesn't seem complicated.
- talmand 13y agoDon't you understand? Someone else read it before, therefore that must you mean you've read it before. If you didn't read it before, it must not be worth your time to read it now. I'm with you, I truly do not understand this need to point out reposts as a negative. Sure, point out that it is a repost with a link to the original in case someone wants to read the comments from that thread as well. But there's no need to be negative about it.
