I was on mobile and didn't want to type out all that. An example (dang usually posts comments like this on popular submissions):

Related:

Different title - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=XXXXXXXXX (date) | XX comments

in order by date.

Such a comment provides useful information on previous discussions (date posted, amount of comments). Your comment seemed like it was simply calling out the fact that this link was reposted a few times, which is unhelpful.

Apologies for being snide in my original comment.
