I agree with this sentiment. I am in favor of link-posts that are also cross-posts; this is the best of both worlds: readers don’t have to leave Less Wrong to read the post (and thus get to take advantage of LW’s or GW’s far superior features to those of most blog software), and there’s a clear link to the originating blog if a reader wants to check out more of the author’s stuff.
However, there is a caveat: sometimes copying over a post is quite impractical, at best. (Such was the case with one of my posts.)
