There are a bunch of submissions on the story (with a few different sources), some with 15+ points, none appeared on the front page.

I think we'll see many many dupes. Hopefully the comment threads will be merged eventually.

They will, usually rapidly, if you email the mods! (Footer contact link.) Otherwise, they might or might not be, depending on coincidences and such.
