But the person has to realize that this won't help him/her at all, only comes off as being a little bit whiny, maybe even a little bit desperate. Yeah, it happens, but it's only virtual points on an Internet site we are talking about... who cares who submitted it in the end.

EDIT: Hope I haven't offended anyone, I am usually not the judgemental type, couldn't help wondering in this case.

Personally, I think that there should be minimal dupes. Therefore, I felt the earlier submission which did not gain traction should be deleted from HN and/or merged. I'm not sure of the protocol.

I wasn't aware this came across as desperate for virtual points. I really don't care.

Fair enough :)

I agree. Like I said, shit happens :)
