AFAIK it is common to repost a story here if there has been enough time since the last post since there can be new voices, opinions, etc since the last time it was posted. Dang sometimes posts a comment with links to previous discussions too.
Perhaps the author is confusing the norms with Reddit where in many subreddits reposts are often frowned upon.

So long as the year is clearly stated, I do think reposts are a bad idea on HN.
There have been plenty of old articles that I've seen for the first time in a repost.
Maybe it's time for a permanent "HN Greatest Hits" page.
