The dupe links seemed useful to me. If something has already been discussed at length, I'd like to know about it.


That's a fair point, but still, the posts were made by a bot, who can't decide if there is useful discussion on another page or not.


DupDetector can tell if there's a discussion by the number of comments, and it uses points to determine the "usefulness" of the discussion. You can find examples here: http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=DupDetector
