Nine months would be less than one year.

For the record, given the substantial discussion, late notice, and fact that HN's mod had already engaged with the discussion without marking it a dupe, my initial point was largely advisory, and the issue mostly moot. I hadn't flagged the item myself.

That said, I was commenting without any snark at all that discussions within a year are typically noted as dupe, linked a prior comment by dang which states this for an instance with an eleven month prior mention, and was simply stating that flatly and factually.

You might want to de-tune your snark detector a bit.

Yeah, this is weak, not recent even, content tho from a spammy/listicle type site. Once in awhile fine, but every day? Nope
