It has been posted before [0], but I don't consider that to be sufficient justification.
Perhaps it has been flagged because it is appropriate for hackers, the flaggers have not furnished us with any reasoning so it is anyone's guess.

- ColinWright 12y agoThanks for the thoughts - as you say, they've furnished us with no reasons. If people are flagging it because it's been posted before, I'd've thought it would be polite for them to point at the previous discussion. Thank you for doing so.

Being a repost is not sufficient justification, as stated above. EDIT: Cool Dang, I get ya.
