And I totally agree with you, I just actually couldn't resist. I was ready to face some downvote (and I have been served…). Apologies.
However there already are some links on HN which leads to reddit style discussion, like the recent link to the "Great HN parody". I think it may be okay from time to time as long as it doesn't flood the discussion.
Yeah, that's cool. I chuckled at your comment, and I didn't downvote (I can't. Guess I don't have enough karma). Just trying to abide by the guidelines (http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).
