This is funny, but it's only a mirror in a mirror if I write and post the article. Why one would do that is exactly what I'm trying to understand.

Trying to step away from myself and answer honestly I think it's because I've been a lurker on HN for years but don't feel like a proper HNer without 500 karma. A few weeks ago I tried to start posting more. It's difficult, because before I click reply I always try to rigorously break down my motives. Usually I don't like what I see, and close the tab.
