Really? So you have blinkers on when it comes to new ideas? Like, tell Edison to go somewhere else - somewhere they go to bed early and get up early 'cos that is what the sun does? Actually, I like the 'tone' aspect of your argument. Can I steal it?

#12Basically, news.yc is not a random social news site where anything goes. There is a well-defined area that the users of the site are interested in. Your submissions weren't about that, so there aren't people around that are interested in adding good comments.
Anyway, I've read four or five articles today, and three of them have been you bitching about the site.

Hacker means many things. If someone submitted a story or tadpoles I would read it, because the intent may be the 'hack'.
