Why this European never wants to live in America

Because this happens on occasion, maybe HN should add a feature that takes a snapshot of a website when it starts inching to the top of the list and delete the cache when it falls off.

That's correct. I know this article very well. It's like one or two years old and had something like 2000 comments.
