I thought maybe this feed is referenced in the classic page somewhere, but it is not. Google Reader bug?

What's wrong with that?
Well obviously he wants to do it, and he obviously knows it doesn't hurt him when he doesn't, so by saying "don't do that" you're being patronizing. It's pretty insulting.

Damn, that's a good post. I missed it. COuld you find the link to that fractal post?
that one ? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=417463 It's quite a bit older than your account so I doubt you 'missed' it.
He was probably disingenuous when he said that it was a good post, though.

Actually, the article being older than his account would virtually guarantee that he missed it. He was probably disingenuous when he said that it was a good post, though.
Do not attribute to misunderstanding what can be attributed to malice ;)
It's worse than that. Each time an interesting post (say a blog post on fractal dimensionality in the stock market) gets posted ALL of that persons previous work gets posted as well. So you have a head post, followed by 5 other follow up articles which just kills Signal to Noise ratio.
That should just be growing pains, though. Once HN has processed all people with something worthwhile to say, there will be no more previous articles to post - they'll all have been posted before. Things should then normalize...

I was being disingenuous as well when I decided to find a relevant link being sure that such a combination of elements must exist if the original poster referred to it... Do not attribute to misunderstanding what can be attributed to malice ;)

I was serious. I have a deep interest in the stock market and fractals both, so an article that brings them together ... well, it's gravy!
So, there you go then.
There is a link at the bottom to http://www.webmynd.com/html/hackernews.html
In case you ever want to find a particular HN posting again.
A small addition is needed to have the script work when viewing older items (you have to add the URL for the subsequent pages. Proof left as an exercise for the reader).
This is very handy since some of the better threads are not on the front page.
I originally built it for Digg and Reddit, but HN is now one of my primary uses. Give it a whirl and let me know what you think.
