Have you considered making this (providing the original link after changing it) a feature of HN itself?

I like the transparency, but doing it manually every time seems like it could become a bit of a hassle for you.

doing it automatically wouldn't prohibit transparency.

Yes, but we would prefer to implement a way to group all related URLs together. That would better solve the underlying problem.

This is a note, written by a law student. Not a reason to discount the analysis, per se, but worth keeping in mind if you were thinking of skipping the article and taking the conclusion at face value.

The actual analysis starts at 367. The gist of the argument, from a quick read, is that Kyllo (the case that held that the government could not use infrared cameras to look into peoples' homes) established that the government could not use extrasensory searches to get information about what's inside areas protected by the 4th amendment. To the extent that biological vitals and medical information are protected (an uncontroversial point), it follows that using extrasensory technology to obtain that information violates Kyllo.

He meant he likes the mod posting it because it's transparent, but knows that it's a pain for the mod and feels that having this automatically happen would aid in being transparent because then the mods don't have to do special things.
