Thanks Colin, it was posted about an hour ago. It was on front page and also on Show HN page. Then in a twinkle of an eye, it has just disappeared. I don't have the ID and didnot keep the url. Added in edit: It is not a duplicate post. They all have Show HN as titles. The first time I posted, there was no news section. The news section was just added this weekend. Does that make it duplicate post? Added in further edit. I see this post has also been taken of the front page.

It is an exact duplicate - the URL is identical. It doesn't matter if the content of the page changes - HN does not fetch the page and compare contents, it compares the URL. That was the same. And this post will have been hammered by flaggers - it's meta, and it will be perceived as complaining about flags, down-votes, or rankings. As such, it's regarded by many as "noise", detracting from the main point of "articles of interest."
