I don't make the rules, but my feeling is that content should be judged based on value, not who posted it. The last thing I would want to see is a Digg-like divide between content super-sharers and content creators, trying to get their content seen. I think it's awesome that we have smart people on HN creating good content, and we should embrace that, not mute it by frowning on self-posting.
