>As HN audience mostly claim to be full of "independent thinkers" we should have no problem with this being published by the Post if it indeed is legitimate, correct?

I've not read any comments on HN that claims that they have a problem with "this being published by the Post" whether it's legitimate or not.

It's possible that I missed such comments, but I don't think so.

I would be grateful if you could point me at a few of them.
