The [1] is a little bit too much, no? First, it's just one URL, secondly, it's right there. Or is this a convention when posting on HN?

- sp332 14y agoIt's not a strong convention but it's used fairly often. It makes the text more readable.
- samwilliams 14y agoI had a pretty long debate with myself about that before posting. What I concluded was that I probably should use the [1] as I wanted to say something else afterwards and it is nicer not to have to extract the URL from a block of text (I personally believe). Had I only wanted to note that it was a repost I would have just put the URL in.
