[Gustomaximus]

I tend do the reverse. On occasion I write a more detailed comment/answer here, I copy it across to my blog and update it to be an article there.

I figure if I spent the time writing something more detailed than typical of my comments I may as well leave it on my site too.

More generally I try to treat HN with more care than I would a reddit type site. Its such a great community and I dont like the increasing one liner jokes and glib/low benefit comments coming through. We really need to protect that.

I think posting to your own writings is fine as long as its openly what you're doing, not the majority of you 'contribution' and done for genuine interest vs trying to drive attention/traffic/work etc back to yourself as part motivation to why you doing it.
