I think I overreacted, and I apologize. The home button is web convention, and the purpose of your article was to me somewhat confusing.

I was under the impression that it is in bad taste to submit your own articles to social sites like news.yc, reddit, and Digg. It appears that you submit every single article you write. (And some, honestly, are good-- far better than this one.)

If you took the time to write it, and are willing to share it, why not submit it? That's always seemed silly to me.

Yeah, it is only against social convention here to submit your own stuff if it is plagarized or linkjacked or bad.

No worries. I will keep in mind trying to submit links to sites other than mine. Thanks for the tip.
