A Much Needed Etiquette for Sharing Hacker News Links

The point being made is very strong. The person sending an article SHOULD be obliged to send their own additional thoughts along with a link!

Sadly, non-technical people simply WILL NOT attempt to understand what they're reading. So the real question is not the etiquette of the sender but of the receiver: do you HAVE to summarize and explain the content to the person who sent it to you?

I think the title of the article would be stronger if it were more generalized since this happens to ANYONE with a well-known area of expertise such as mathematicians, scientists, fans of book series, beekeepers, etc. I can't even imagine what nutrition experts have to put up with from friends and family. :-)
