Sorry, I didn't mean to imply "you" specifically as the one dinging my karma. I kind of meant for everything after that first sentence that referred to "you" to mean anyone reading it. You can't vote down all of my comments 5 times on your own. For what it's worth, I'm mostly disappointed in stuff like this because, while many people were noobs at some point: 1) anyone is free to lurk until they feel un-noob-like 2) you can show some restraint when posting links. I've only made a few submissions, and I think they were pretty ok. Out of the 10, 1 was off topic, and only partially. Here is what bugs me the most: I used to be able to read the 'new' page and see cool stuff. Some of it wouldn't get to the top/front page. Most of it, even the stuff in 'new', was usually pretty good. As it is now, only the top/front page of HN is good to read. Going through 'new' is like becoming a human crap filter. Please don't just submit any crap you feel like because maybe it will get voted to the front. Only submit good stuff. "HN is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of people complaining."
