Thanks. I'm using NoScript. Without this addon the HN's bookmarklet refused to work. I had to either submit posts manually. OR turn off NoScript, wait for the page to refresh, click the bookmarklet, submit post and turn NoScript back on. This addon opens on a few page, so I can effortlessly submit an article I'm still reading without duplicating the tab or refreshing. Thanks alot - you cleared my nightmare.
