I haven't done a lot of submitting myself.. I usually just do "Ask HN" type stuff. Hacker News doesn't automatically tell you that the URL you're submitting has already been submitted? Or was the URL slightly different?
HN automatically upvotes the previous post if you submit an EXACT duplicate URL. But some webpages live under more than one URL, and not everyone submits the canonical URL.
