Having had a few posts show up on HN from my site usually because I posted them (although not always), I can say that the comments are frequently nitpicky, unrelated to what you're talking about, and frequently unnecessarily critical. They rarely engage in the substance, and instead engage aggressively in minutiae. Not wanting to have to deal with the HN comments on your work is something I completely understand.

I've got plenty of nits worth picking. I think most people do.
