ColinWright posts great articles to HN, and thoughtful comments to threads. He is a valued contributor.
The duplicate thread posts are irritating to some people. But they are seen as very useful by many others. You claim that this single post is clutter and is not helpful. It is not clutter. It is helpful. It provides quick easy access to previous discussion.
It would be great if people could link to the canonical version of an article, rather than each tech-blog's minimal write-up; and if people could search HN before submitting a post.
But notice that ColinWright has not complained about duplication, and is merely providing useful links to previous discussion.
You've been downvoted. Partly this is because you should either ignore, or down vote, or flag, posts that you think should not be here.
