I mentioned that in the original post, but I don't see that text here anymore (thats why I added links via comment)... I am new to hackernews

I believe they just mean that you should edit the comment where you added the links to mention that you are the author, to add that additional context.

I just meant 'it's good for people to know one of the authors is in the thread because it makes for more interesting conversation'. Clearly did not figure out how to do that without starting a bunch of meta!

I believe this could (or should) have been a Show HN, which would have allowed you to include explanatory text. See the top of this page for the rules.

Welcome to the site. There are a lot of features which are less obvious, which you’ll discover over time.

Reading material usually can't be a Show HN but you can just post your work without that and say you're involved.
