It's mentioned in the post that it was weighed down so much that it dropped off the front page almost instantly.

Because duplicates are useful. I hadn't seen the original post, I've seen this one. Disallowing reposts is one of the HN policies I don't agree with.

Agreed. I'm glad I caught this on the repost.

It's not a duplicate (as far as HN is concerned), the URLs are slightly different.
