I generally think it's bad form to duplicate content, and I'd be worried about confusing readers (especially ones who happened on the new post without being very familiar with Less Wrong) and messing up search results.

But I see your point about the inconvenience, especially with comments back on the new post, so I'd be open to doing it that way if other folks are in favor of it (and it gets the approval from Eliezer, whose posts we'd be reproducing).

I'm not convinced that duplicating content from the same site by linking to it is any better form than duplicating it by copying and pasting (assuming the author's permission, of course). Which is to say, assuming Eliezer's agreement and the general community consensus that reruns are cool, both seem to be about equally good form.
