Thanks for crafting and sharing this.

I must admit to flagging this particular submission, as it is the fifth time it has been posted in as many days, with no other contributions (whether of comments or stories) to speak of. Forgive me if this seems harsh, but just to keep submitting the same item over and over without any other activity (including responding to comments made in the prior submissions) does not seem in alignment with HN.

I read HN every day and this is the first time I've seen this submission...

Super curious as to why you're getting downvotes... :/

Same here.

I've been pretty active on HN the last few days, and this is the first I've seen of it. Is redundancy sufficient for flagging? I always thought flagging was only for abusive or off-topic content, and redundant submissions were a moderator thing.

It looks like the same person was submitting the same thing, daily, to try and make it stick (without any other apparent engagement with the site in terms of submissions or comments). So I think @miles is considering that abusive behavior?

I believe when the mods ask people to resubmit something, they only ask for 1 resubmission (at least that's how it went when I was asked to resubmit something: a second shot, and it didn't get picked up, so that's that).

I don't know. I mean on one hand I get it but on the other I go plenty of times when people submit awesome stuff it's just bad timing. So I don't care.

Wow! It really pays to go fishing on HN. That's what I see.
