Yep I found this annoying too since I remembered reading it 3 days ago, causing me to double check if I was accidentally reading the same comment thread again.

Whilst trying to be charitable to the poster (I guess there's no harm in pushing their side project) I would caution that carbon copying comments like this (to articles posted deliberately for the purpose of doing so) could come off as a bit insulting to the HN readership.

On the other hand, perhaps they're onto something since these articles keep rising up to the front page!
