And you'll see that the top comment on Dang's comment is a "profound disagreement". We none of us have time to read all articles. I've found and continue to find tl;dr's useful - and judging by upvotes and comments I've received on other pure tl;dr's I've made, this view is widely held. dang and others may wish a certain "intellectual climate" but, for better or for worse, many HN discussions fail to live up to whatever standard he may hope for. Targeting tl;dr's - considered a useful feature by many - is both petty and unhelpful. But thanks for the extensive quote.
