i thought self-linking was encouraged? isn't there some guideline that says instead of making a direct post (askhn etc) you should link to your blog?

also, a new account just to takes shots at me? did i shoot your dog or something?

It's generally held that linking to your own posts is ok as long as it's relevant to HN (and I don't see any argument that this isn't). I mean, who cares who submitted it if it's relevant?
