Please don't copy/paste comments on HN. It lowers the signal/noise ratio and makes for pain when we go to merge duplicate threads. If you want to refer to something you posted elsewhere, please use a link. Better still, when you see a split discussion, email hn@ycombinator.com so we can merge them. We'll make sure your comment ends up in the winning thread. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... |

The link could die, the text at the link could change, or the comment at the link could be deleted. Not to mention a comment section full of links is ugly and unreadable.
StackOverflow has the exact opposite approach because they don’t want their site riddled with dead links.
How many people will care enough to send an email to have a comment merger? That really isn’t a solution to whatever “problem” this is.
