I find it a continuing source of confusion that people can't distinguish between a person who submits an item, and the author of the item being submitted.
I submitted this item. I did not take the photos.
The person who took the photos did not submit this to HackerNews.

The title is copied from the article, which is the general principle, and happens automatically if you use the bookmarklet. The "My" indicates the author, not the submitter of a link to the article.
Links are like that. The person who has the link is not (necessarily) the person who wrote the article being pointed at.
