Apropos of this being a dupe, I wonder if it would be reasonable to judge drift in the quality of a social news site readerbase via the response to the same content submitted at different time periods.
On a related note, I bet that the rate of dupage may say something about community quality as well

Didn't know it was a dupe. I find response heavily dependent on the time and day of week of submission.
Would scanning for a dupe (even if tinyurl'd) be a linear search or could it be hashed in News.YC's code

I was actually kind of joking because it was submitted two or three days after news.yc launched.
This seems pretty reasonable, but in general beware of "manifestos". See http://www.textism.com/maunifesto/
I've learned (been somewhat conditioned) to give a canned response when asked for my (mostly crazy) thoughts nowadays:
"You're not going to like what I have to say and you're definitely not going to like how I say it."
After this, they usually don't like what I've said nor how I said it.
I keep marching on though, knowing that I need to work on those communications skills of mine.
