Interesting - this was submitted nearly four weeks ago, and yet garnered no comments at all, and only one up-vote:

Many good submissions probably get missed because they don't generate an initial interest and most of us that don't have a lot of time won't be on the lookout trying to filter new posts but checking the stuff that has already been up voted a lot.

This happens quite often. Several good links escape attention due to low votes and get lost. Shouldn't I have got a "link already exists" message?
