Really? A NASA report, on the official .gov site? Maybe the comments were horrible but that seems right in the middle of what HN is interested in.

You're talking about this submission:
NASA System Predicts Impact of a Small Asteroid over Germany - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).
One thing I've learned today, after 11 hours of posting in this thread, is that it's easy to look at an article in isolation and say "Really? That got moderated?" - when in fact if you know the larger context there's nearly always a straightforward explanation.
One can certainly argue that 86 points and 46 comments is too low a threshold to treat the repost as a dupe, but that's a different question, no?

The effort is appreciated by some if not most.
It wasn't 11 hours straight by any means. But thanks! It's nice of you to say that.
When I get tired I start to complain. It's a bad habit.
