This question was inspired by a comment I got on a submission. I was asked not to submit my own blog articles to HN but let someone else do this should they find them interesting.
My argument is that:
1. My blog is less then 2 months old so not many people are reading it, changes are not one of those people will post articles here
2. I do this openly (my handle and blog name are the same, I never made this a secret) but I suspect some others just have a login to HN that does not reflect to their blog and as such post articles 'anonymously'
So what do you think, are blog writers allowed to post their own articles (at least the ones they think are relevant to HN) or should I stop doing so?
