This a great analysis. I would love to see a public page displaying title changes so that I could click "request explanation" and the mods could offer an explanation for those every day based on reader interest. Whatever is going on to achieve it, HN is a great online community, and so maybe that is due to the moderation. Sometimes I wonder if it might be in spite of the moderation, but who knows :) the precipitous drop that happens to stories after their titles have been changed shows a very strong editorial bias going on. I think there is a general strategy of keeping highly controversial political topics off of HN. The question is, when does this sort of censorship constitute an ideological crackdown in its own right.
