Strangely, I've gotten 5 notifications today of people recommending posts I wrote 2+ years ago. 2 different usernames recommended the SAME posts. It wasn't even THAT funny/witty/informative a post. Is there some kind of freaky click farming going on?

Us new opponauts figure that's like a +1 vote. People following a cloud tag, perhaps explains the dual views.

I got a recommendation today for a today's FP article on Paul Newman's Volvo that was originally from 5/12/10. This one...... http://jalopnik.com/5540957/the-fo…

It's because old stories are being linked to new ones. I'm getting kudos for a comment about Alton Brown I posted to Lifehacker in 2009.

Same thing has been happening to me as well. Have no idea why.

I've had a few of these in the last few weeks as well. Strange indeed.

You should all be flattered that your journalistic art is recognized for so long. Maybe you are future Hunter S. Thompson's or Jack Kerouac's
