> Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.
p.s. you can edit the title and add it back if you catch it in time.
Several people on HN routinely past links to archive copies of subscription articles, to past related submissions, etc. As a rule people read these, follow them or more often ignore them.
I direct your attention to the username portion of the comment headers.

* What are you trying to accomplish? -- Very little at this point in my life although I do nudge along various renewable projects and do some track upkeep on a 1,000 km long walking trail, herd a few sheep, etc.
* Has someone appointed you to this "position" you feel you have here? -- There's one official moderator here, a community of regular users, and various users with extra (and lesser) powers passed out by the mod.
* Maybe best to just let people be, and mind your own business. -- I've pointed out you're headed into a ditch with the badgering of someone else <shrug> .. call that a PSA, do with it as you will.
But - I'm merely sharing something I think people will be interested in (and have shown interest in here in the past). If people are, indeed interested, the post gains traction and sticks around, if not, the post gets buried in obscurity. That is the beauty of this democratic process here.
Sharing your work isn't at issue, the builder and seller of Klein Bottles is here as are many other creators.
Two specific things are at play here, the creation of a dedicated account to only promote your work (if that is what is happening here, _I_ make no claims wrt that), and the badgering of a fellow forum user who routinely points out past related links, dupes, etc (as a commonplace occurrence).
If in a day or two you return and reread your own comments here demanding to know who people are and why they make such comments then you might see these exchanges in a different light. The site guidelines linked above are worth the read.
