Sorry, this is my first post to HN and in the submission it looked like the description text i added would be part of the post header.
replyDon’t apologize. This was a very fascinating read, and a good technical write up, especially for you first even HN post. It’s not your fault others didn’t look at the username :)
replyThanks for the feedback :D
replyI was just about to highlight this particular HN quirk. I suppose a lot of people here only ever comment (or submit URLs without any text of their own) and aren't familiar with it.
replyHN's fault entirely. The post form's actioning "text" as a comment is remiss.

replyThey shouldn’t have to make it “obvious”. They are the actual author of the article. It’s not their fault you didn’t double check the usernames. It’s not uncommon for authors to comment on their own articles.
