Dupblicate stories on DIFFERENT DAYS = removing is a bad idea because NEW PEOPLE did NOT SEE the story before.
While I understand your point if we did this then maybe half of our posts would be redundant and we would no longer be the breaking news and analysis site that we are.
This is the policy. You can send a modmail noting your dissatisfaction with the policy and your reasoning but you need to be polite.
I use none of this technology and this is why

This is our policy on duplicate stories.

Many people will miss stories because they are not glued to the site 24/7.
Carry on.
