> duplicates were on home page for 6-8 hours so didn’t see an issue
That was the issue! 6-8 hours is an extremely long time for duplicates to be on the front page. Alas, we don't see everything.
In the future, the best thing is to drop us a note at hn@ycombinator.com when you see these things. Another user did that and that's why we belatedly merged the threads.
