Some people found the last one useful, as evidenced by its upvotes. (Though it's been downvoted at least three times today.) Why are you expressing your dislike? Don't people normally just silently downvote?

Dislike of something is different from pointing out the repetition. Even if the first one was useful, one would be entitled to ask why a second would be useful ('Doctor, doctor, I want my appendix out!' 'But why, we just removed it!' 'And it did me a world of good!'); how much more so if one didn't find the first one useful?
