That would be useful, except that there's not a single comment on the link you posted. Also, it looks like you submitted it. I'm not trying to imply anything here, but nonetheless, it seems like you have a stake in pointing out this is a duplicate in that you made the previous submission.

I would really like to see these kinds of comments stop. They don't further discussion and coming from the people who champion better discussion, it seems like an odd pattern of behavior.

So in the spirit of seeing this change, I'd like to say that these photographs are absolutely phenomenal. I'm currently using them as my background. Given their extremely high resolution I can imagine there being a number of creative uses for them as well. For instance, it would be really interesting to experiment with printing these out on large posters.

I agree. It can be frustrating to see a story you submitted do well when your submission didn't merit any points, but life goes on. If there is no discussion there is no reason to point out the previous post.
