Thanks for the response. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle! Every time I see people complaining about how "HN as gone to shit", I check to see how long they've been a registered user. I'm not the most veteran HNer, but I've been around for about 6 years now, and if anything I think the quality of the site has tended to improve ever-so-slightly over the years, though I feel that it tends to fluctuate a bit. There was also a noticeable boost when you and your crew took the reigns as mods (I don't mean to ass-kiss here, I really feel that way). I sometimes wonder if I missed out on some sort of Golden Age of HN...
