This was originally just posted to his personal page, where people can really post whatever they want, and I actually want to highly encourage people to post about more technical and specialized content there. I personally thought it was good enough to promote the frontpage, but you might disagree, and I am happy to discuss that.
I have no opinion on this. My actual complaint is that when I see a post on the front page, I really have no idea what the heck to think. Was the post:
Written here, just now, for the front page?
Written here, just now, for a personal page?
Written somewhere else, at some other time, and reposted here, for the front page?
Written somewhere else, at some other time, and reposted here, for a personal page?
Written somewhere else, just now, and cross-posted here?
Basically, I have no idea what the context (temporal, conversational, social, etc.) is, or what the author intended the context to be, or whether the decision for this post to appear on the front page was the author’s, or yours, or what.
That makes it really hard to know how to react to a post, and hard to evaluate whether I should even bother reading it, etc.
Basically what I am saying is: it really matters less what you put where, than making it really super clear and apprehendable at a glance what is what and where it comes from.
