I'm glad stuff like this does because I often forget about it, or somehow missed it before.
That said I do suspect a lot of the repeats are because there are young people on HN for whom this may be the first time since reaching an age of reason that this has hit the front page.
ya that's fine - stuff resurfaces every once in awhile etc -- but mark it as so (2018) so we know it's not something new and there's years of discussion already.
