It seems better to consolidate these posts into bibliography posts by subject, perhaps updating the old posts. The single-paper posts clog Discussion too much.

ETA: on further consideration, I hold this view less strongly.

I feel slightly more motivated to read these papers if they're presented one at a time.

I feel that it's better to err on the side of posting too much rather than posting too little. High posting frequency is probably the number one thing that a blog-based community needs to stay alive. (Quality is also important, but that is hardly an issue in Luke's case.)

I don't see a problem with someone saying (implicitly) "hey, I spotted this paper I found interesting on this topic of local interest" and don't see it as "clogging" Discussion.

There's a difference between one person posting one thing, and one person posting many over a short period. The latter person can reduce congestion without reducing the information conveyed by consolidation.
