| Not at all! As the other commenters have pointed out, no criticism is implied. Reposts are fine after a year or so. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. It's just that readers are often curious to look at past discussions. Sometimes I point that out: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... |

| I do not believe that is dang's point. He often posts comments like these under recurring posts, I assume in hope that the past discussions could also be of interest to the readers. |

| People might be interested to see what was said last time. |

| Its very normal on HN to point to earlier discussions on the same article or subject and is normally intended as help rather than a complaint. |

| In case it isn't clear from the responses, dang is the HN moderator. He regularly groups related stories and references past threads. |
