Full disclosure: I posted the original and it disappeared from HN so fast it made my head spin.

Isn't it better that someone gave it a second chance, even if only by clicking a link?

No, your behavior is weird and hostile actually. Does Marcin even know that you lifted the content?

A traditional link blog would highlight a short excerpt so that the reader might be encouraged to click through to the full piece.

Yes. I just emailed him, in fact, and he responded with details, no hostility!

>your behavior is weird and hostile actually

Look in the mirror.

Mine is not a "traditional link blog" nor has it ever been since its inception on August 24, 2004. You're the first person I've known to use the phrase "traditional link blog." I like it! Maybe you should start one.

You made 94 posts in the past 10 days...

What is your point? As a rule I post to HN around 10x/day, pretty much hourly.... Judging by how regularly my posts appear at the top of the HN homepage, others appear to welcome my contributions.
