oh! do submissions of same link stop being “linked” after a year or so?
Correct! https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html
That's on purpose—we want good articles to get multiple chances at attention, and we want the 'classics' to pop up periodically (just not too often), so newer cohorts of users get some exposure to them. So you did well :)
The purpose of linking to past threads is not to imply anything bad about the repost (if it were a bad repost, we would handle it differently) - rather, it's to point curious readers to other discussions on the same topic that may interest them.
I love this feature of HN. Between this, the onion salesman, C+- and a few other favorites I’m on a roughly 2 times a year cadence of getting to reread old favorites!
