Edit: voting me down for refusing to submit the same article to HN, linked through my own blog? Wow.

"If you're submitting a link, put it in the url field. If you want to add initial commentary on the link, write a blog post about it and submit that instead."
I think a blog post along the lines of "Several regular HN members made it into Time Magazine's Top 50" in follow up to a single link to DDG making it in fits within the guidelines, but to each their own.
All I'm saying is that, this is obviously something that people were interested to know about, if you're complaining that coverage didn't extend to others you think are just as important, then write about it on your own blog and submit that
The spirit of that guideline is that a link should speak for it self. If it can't, don't submit it. If YOU want to say something, write a blog post.
PG was specifically referring to submitters, submitting links.
i do not think it means what you think it means.
