This post set off the voting ring detector, but I'm restoring it because we want to see original work on HN.

A voting ring is when people get friends to upvote their post. This is against the rules. We want stories to be on HN because they're good, not because they were promoted.

All: Please don't do this; just take your chances with HN's randomness. If a post is solid and hasn't gotten any attention yet, a couple of reposts is ok. Be careful not to abuse that, though, since accounts that repost too much eventually lose submission privileges. Send any questions to [e-mail].
