I guess it's a convention that comes with the fact that people (in many cases) look more kindly on "Ask HN" types of posts and upvote them more generously than external articles.
- kirubakaran 17y agoLooks like you taking your opinion and extrapolating it into "... the fact that people ...", then implying that hence it is immoral ("But perhaps that was a white lie") to ask a non-local 'Ask HN'! Or may be you are just being witty. If anything, local 'Ask HN' is discouraged here by displaying it as gray on gray text.
- swombat 17y agoYou may well be right. I didn't mean to be offensive, nor did I mean to be witty. It was just an observation.
- kirubakaran 17y agoOh okay. Sorry if that sounded argumentative. :-)
