Are you suggesting that they're suggesting anything beyond what date this was written on, since we usually point that out in almost every article that has not been written in the current year for a variety of reason, including "oh, yeah, I remember I already read this without even clicking, it's not new, I might as well go read the comments directly"?
No, I'm not, hence the question.
My apologies, I assumed that since you've been a user for a while you were aware of the reason for such a comment and the practice of indicating the post year in the submission titles.
No hard feelings, I hope.
'For a while' indeed :)
Adding a date for older articles and posts is a very common HN convention

ideally it should be in the submitted title, if not often someone will post it as above .. and later a mod might add it.
No biggie, as they say.
Of course I was completely unaware of that...
