Today I submitted a story failing to realize that it was already covered (though was not the primary focus of) in an earlier accepted submission that I had simply forgotten about. We rightly complain about dupes, but if a story submitter realizes that something should be rejected for that reason there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to retract ones own submissions or at least leave a comment explaining that the story ought to be rejected.
Edit: Looking a bit closer, it's not actually mentioned in the Soylent summary though is mentioned in the linked article. It's only semi-dupe. Still a bit questionable but it's something that wasn't discussed at all in the earlier story so maybe still fine to run.

Still ; if what you end up with is a followup to something we just ran; give it a week and send in the submission with the new angle.

That's pretty much what happened here. The story ran, there was some decent discussion. Letting it go up was probably the right call.
