So thats why so many frontpage articles on HN are blogspam versions of comments copy-pasted from reddit threads, in contrast to linking the actual threads directly? That explains a lot.
I used to have links to these, but in the 1.5 hours I had to wait before I could send a comment again ("You're submitting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks."), I lost them. You might want to just check them yourself – often the reddit thread is mentioned in the comments, or as source in the blog post.
