With only three comments, that doesn't count as "significant discussion", which means that today's re-posting is not a dupe by HN standards:

    Not sure pointing out another discussion is a problem. If I were to criticise the post it would be to say is it an HN topic? Might be more suitable on a music discussion.

      It's not a problem, nominally, but it is a problem if this leads others to believe that the submission does meet dupelicate criteria.

      If I note prior submissions (often because I'd seen the earlier submission in the "New" queue, I'll specifically note whether or not it's a dupe.
