It's not in your interest to game HN with votes and comments. It leads to penalties and makes your post less likely to get attention. It's much better to just let your hard work speak for itself. A small number of reposts is ok if it hasn't had significant attention yet.
Thanks @mliso -- we're really aiming to simplify the process and automate as many of the menial but time-consuming things as possible! We'll be launching the cap table next :)
