You might want to summarize this in the submitted post itself to reduce friction for the readers (and thereby maybe increasing the odds of success).

The post is pretty much just a summary, but I will post it here too.

Edit. HN is not letting me reply to people with questions (shaking small fist). If would like me to answer anything then post a question on my blog.

It will in a while. There is a delay (dead time) until a reply link appears which increases the deeper a comment is in a thread. This is to prevent particularily heated discussions where people just fire responses without thinking too much.

HN has a rate limiter for some posters (like me) that will not allow you to post at all after a certain number of posts/day
