This is probably the most unusual part - taking the time to leave that kind of comment outside of the HN submission itself.
It's one thing to interrogate if a link is valid on here (eg, by downvoting or through the comments), but taking the time to interact with the site itself and backreference HN is pointless, and damaging to the reputation of HN (regardless of if they are an accurate representation of the community or not).
