I don't understand what "First, congrats on the Beschizza link. This is the first time that I've seen a direct HN link from BB. Guess we should talk about HN less, yall, Eternal September and whatnot." means in the context of my comment.
It would seem that the commenter above thinks that HN is not that well-known, and getting linked from boingboing is going to lead to an influx of newbies. I think that's pretty silly, personally; these days HN probably has a significantly wider readership than boingboing.
