Because it had been posted over a year ago prior to being posted a week ago. And yes, you are right in pointing out that the same person submitted it twice in two days, but the first time it appears that nobody saw it. IMO, this is within the HN repost guidelines, but that's a matter of interpretation. But I agree with you that "If it gets voted to the front page it is because people want to see it..."
