Go ahead and repeat yourself. If nothing else, it is of benefit to newer readers.
I have been reading your posts since alt.support.tall, and repetition doesn’t bother me.

I would like for you to tell again (or re-post) about a story from many years ago that made such a deep impression on you.

Only six years old? You realize that’s like 42 in blog years?

But I agree, it probably is okay. Even if the version was a word-for-word copy (and like you I bet mine would be pretty damn close), how many people would even remember the other post from five years ago?

My blog is only six years old, but I still have this problem all the time. I go back and forth about it. I think it’s probably OK, if the version you’re telling now is better than the one you told back then. But knowing the way I write, it would probably be a word-for-word copy.
