[dupe]
So I infer that you were displeased that I posted a story that has been discussed before when posted from other sources. I didn’t do it on purpose as I had not seen the others.
Of the 156 stories I’ve posted in the last 10 years, there have been 7 that either were marked as [dupe] or were [flagged] because they were dupes. I had not heretofore seen this ratio as problematic. FWIW I already strip off URL detritus to give HN’s URL dupe detection algorithm maximum advantage.
I will contemplate whether in the future I ought to perform an exhaustive search of HN before I post a story. Do others routinely do this? The tools aren’t great.
