What really is a shame is that your comment regarding this submission--which isn't entirely on the mark--is what is at the top of the comments and taking away from the discussion which I am finding (and I'm sure others) very passionate and enlightening. Sorry, the only thing I added was "Great". The title is the original and adding NYT Op-Ed let the HN user know it was an Op-Ed. While I understand your concern and deciding to quote from the guidelines, I don't believe adding just the word "Great" was misleading or breaking the rules... And well, this may be where I get flamed, but if you want to be technical, it isn't a "parenthetical remark". Either way, point taken.
