I wonder how much money you are going to save in storage costs now that they’re won’t be any more “Duplicate Post!!!” comments.

I think I see the dupes because I read the rss feeds.

I won’t feel complete until this post is double posted.
And how about including a link to the alternate for comparison? I know a lot of the time it is in the comments.

I suspect there’s one type of duplicate post not being covered here - the ones that get reposted years after first appearing (because an old story somewhere on the internet gets rediscovered and goes viral again). I’m quite fascinated by the phenomenon. I think there’s at least one story that had three posts over the years.
I’m waiting for Boingboing to do a duplicate after a news story goes viral as the result of someone discovering an old Boingboing post that covered it. Assuming that hasn’t already happened.

@frauenfelder Am I missing something here? Surely you need to post BOTH posts of each topic, side-by-side (one above the other) there, not just the one. The fun is in seeing how each BB poster treated the topic and how the comments evolved (where they weren’t merged).

Aha! Is that the only one, though? I could have sworn there was another (at least).
