I am voting it up though, because I wonder if this is a problem we could solve here with this group. I doubt that this was duplicate posted maliciously, and it is an interesting story
I wonder if it would be useful to have a feature where rather than just "bury" or "mark as duplicate" we could link TO the original duplicated story. Since I know it was posted recently, and made front page, I would go through the effort of tagging it as such and linking (as I have just done). Perhaps then this "new" post would appear as a comment in the original thread?
If this (what I'm doing) is an inappropriate use of comments and voting, I apologize - I didn't want to post a whole new "Ask HN" about it.
