To be fair Hacker News doesn't allow you to submit a link and write a description. Therefore, any description would have to be posted as a comment which in all likelihood would eventually trickle down to the bottom of the comments. Submitting a url as he did is no different than a ASK HN: Review my startup.

Looking at the Submit page, there is a spot for the URL and another one for a title. I may certainly be mistaken as I have never used it, but I would think those two fields are just for the described purpose?

  True, but the title is not meant to include a long description of the link, rather, just a title.

    "Pling: a questionnaire site with some social media scheme" would have been fine as a title.
