I don't usually pay any attention to who submitted something, and one of the biggest issues I see with HN is the imbalance in points between someone who submits an article and someone who has valuable input in the discussion. Half of my karma is from 2 submissions but I think a good comment is much more valuable that being the first person to submit a link.
