- lproven 1y agoIt does now. :-) It didn't when I posted earlier I wrote that article, but I no longer post my stories to HN because I am subject to a block and anything of my own I submit is flagged [dead]. I do not know why, and I have written to ask with no reply. I only write 5-10 articles a week so I don't exactly spam the site at high frequency, and if I don't feel I can add more context or insight to a story, I don't write it -- except at the very slowest times of the year, and I wouldn't post those stories here. Ah well.
