  I'm not upset - really :) I can't downmod articles, so my only recourse is to leave a comment. One bad submission leads to others (a news forum analogue of the "broken window " phenomena as explained in Gladwell's Tipping Point). I want this site to remain great.

    bad submission I grant you it was borderline :) But the fact that it has nothing to do with hacking doesn't mean it isn't of interest to hackers, which is how I understand the scope of the site. (Maybe you have to be the type of hacker who used to spend hours combing through piles of obscure records...) This is also a bit random. A few of the (to me) most interesting things I posted here got no attention at all. The risk of noise overwhelming signal à la digg/reddit is garnering a lot of attention, but there are opposite risks too (lack of diversity, or people not posting stuff that would be of interest 'cause they're afraid of getting scolded).
