Shouldn't this entry link to one of the original articles instead of to some random, er, symbiont? Sorry if I'm missing something here; I'm the new kid.
Yes, but no reason to fling insults around. Linking to articles you enjoyed and commenting on them is not some kind of despicable act. It’s, in fact, quite normal.
I didn't mean to be insulting, it's just that I don't see how this particular instance of blurb-cum-comment page adds a lot of value. I'd have thought it would have been more helpful and polite to skip the intro and link to the full article straight away... but then again I'm new here, which is why I asked.
Does HN encourage this kind of redirection so that the blurb linked to may serve as an executive summary or tl;dr or whatever you want to call it? Does HN encourage this kind of redirection to elicit submissions from people with blogs to draw attention to?
