I think that both sides in this thread are behaving in a way that is inappropriate for desired tone of this forum. All snarky responses are uncalled for, though the merit of the posing of the question is debatable

#22Wait. I thought Paul Graham was nickb?
Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw nickb pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
I'd upmod twice if I could.

I see your Schwartz is as big as mine.
(Since this is getting downmodded into oblivion, that was a Spaceballs reference. That's a line from the same scene with "I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.")

#25Maybe nickb will mysteriously disappear and completely cease activity, the way linuxer did from reddit. http://reddit.com/user/linuxer
Funny, same thing happened at digg: http://digg.com/users/albertpacino
That can only mean that whatever Wintermute-esque construct nickb was, has moved on to somewhere more interesting than here.
Re: Nickb, Are you okay?
#26In the future, I'd like to suggest that all regulars post their vacation schedules and travel times to news.YC so that we can make sure you're ok. Please also post your mom's phone number so that we can call her and tell you're doing alright and that the weather is great in Whogivesashitistan.
i can see both sides of the coin, but its nice to see someone concerned for someone else.

Either your sarcasm detector is broken for writing this response, or mine is for thinking you were serious.
Or perhaps I'm getting a false positive and both of the above posts were serious.

all I know is that this thread has too acerbic a tone for its own good

Like this? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=173581
Kind of, although more like reddit's "hide" feature. There's also a GM script to do like the extension you link, but it has menus so there's no need to edit an array. No time to find link but it will be on userscripts.org somewhere.
Fine, I added a UI to it...
