In fact I find the HN front page more than a little overwhelming too. Over time, I have learned the content is worth the parsing effort.
BTW: I assumed "heavyweight championship" referred to boxing, not to politics. See the problem?

I'll bite: what kind of news website you don't fine overwhelming? >BTW: I assumed "heavyweight championship" referred to boxing, not to politics. See the problem? That's not about the site's design though, just the phrasing of some particular headline.

Traditional blog-like fromats, e.g. Slashdot, where each headline comes with the top para, which you can skim. If you don't skim it, then it's welcome filler spacing out the headlines. Of course, content matters more than presentation. HN is better than Slashdot, and probably needs to keep its denser format. >>BTW: I assumed "heavyweight championship" referred to boxing, not to politics.
