Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did. If the guidelines state that you shouldn't complain in comments about submissions, then certainly you shouldn't post whole Ask HN submissions. And the irony of this comment hasn't escaped me.
