Curious, how long is it until it's okay to post a duplicate?

Thank you.

I was embarrassed it's in there and expected a definitive rule. Now I'm not feeling that bad ;)

I dont know the exact time but it wont let you if it has not been long enough. And it is tradition for someone to post links to previous discussion.

Unless I'm going crazy, the guidelines used to say 1 year.
