Heh, well, the last bit aside -- obviously, there's certainly nothing wrong with your posting of web.py; the existing guidelines make that clear enough.
Which is neither here nor there, as I'm not proposing the rule as a criticism of your actions, but as a proposed answer to a question very like, "Is there a simple social rule that could prevent these kind of collisions from becoming increasingly common as HN grows?"
I think that the rule I propose has merit as an idea, so I'm arguing for it, not criticizing your actions. ;)

The simplest solution would be a technical one: If a user has not seen a url because it was posted before that user became a member then he/she will see it, otherwise it gets rendered invisible. That way you get to have your cake and I can eat mine too.
