Please stop posting links to your papers all over the place not stating your the author and not explicitly embedding what you have to say in the comments themselves; as is, to me, you’re no better than a spammer.

In the comment above, you even copied and pasted it from your last comment and forgot to update the URL; that is, the URL above is from your prior comment which is formatted exactly the same way; stop spamming.

Deligtful: Have you actually read the article?
You are replying to the famous computer scientist prof. Carl Hewitt. He doesn't have to state who he is because everybody already knows (except you, evidently.)

It's pretty telling that some people respond with strong dismissals of an actual accomplished researcher in the field we're discussing versus the musings of some programmer who blogs.
Is it OK to post unsubstantive self-promotional comments as long as you're an accomplished researcher?
If you're Carl Hewitt, yes.
