Yeah, I’d prefer that as well. Thanks for linking directly.
And yet, due to Hacker News title rules, that would have led to a very different submission that would have in some sense lost the point of the article that was linked (which wasn't merely blogspam but was extracting a narrative).
We sometimes leave the submitted title up even after changing the URL. In this case though, I'd rather give the thread to the submitter who first posted the original source, and since doing so involves re-upping that submission to the front page (approximately to the same rank as this one reached), I don't see why we would change its title now.
Completely understandable, thanks.
Honestly not too aware with the title rules here, as I mostly just lurk. Thanks for clarifying on that. Love your work over the years btw, thanks for everything!
