Last year I had posted a SubscriberLink to a LWN article about AOO to HN; I'm doing it again right now, so if they read HN and my post reaches the front page there, we might be able to see them here again.

It would have been better to post the link directly to their mailing list, but unfortunately doing so as a first-time poster would be treated as a provocation. HN is a neutral place.

HN can drive a lot of traffic; a link that sits on the front page for a while can bring tens of thousands of non-subscribing readers to LWN. Experience suggests that some of them will subsequently choose to subscribe. I wouldn't want to see all of our subscriber content there, but an occasional link does us nothing but good as far as I can tell.
