I posted this earlier, and it didn't even make it to the homepage. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4392695
This is a clear violation of HN guideline. HN guideline is: "Please submit the original source. If a blog post reports on something they found on another site, submit the latter."
Who cares? One click, two clicks. It really doesn't effect me that much.
I think all of us are talking way too much much about how much HN needs to be fixed. Almost every large thread has a reference to how HN is broken. HN may or may not be "going downhill" but if that's all we talk about... It certainly will.
And I recognize the irony in this statement. :)
