For the record, given the substantial discussion, late notice, and fact that HN's mod had already engaged with the discussion without marking it a dupe, my initial point was largely advisory, and the issue mostly moot. I hadn't flagged the item myself.

That said, I was commenting without any snark at all that discussions within a year are typically noted as dupe, linked a prior comment by dang which states this for an instance with an eleven month prior mention, and was simply stating that flatly and factually.

You might want to de-tune your snark detector a bit.
