Unfortunately your questions has now become meta, i.e. it doesn't belong on first page, but alas, as of now it is. I normally do not comment on the "recently I've noticed HN is going down the drain" type posts and questions, since I think doing so is akin to a reply-all with a "please remove me from this list" message to an email posted to the wrong list: it just makes a bad thing perpetuate (man, this happened recently in my company, and it took three days for the idiotic removal requests to die down). Getting worked up about the quality of this or that newsgroup is, I think, similar to language police mentality, i.e. trying to get rid of (generally English) loan words. Canada (Quebec), France, and now China is trying to do it, but (i) it's futile, since language (and newsgroups) are dynamic entities, shaped chaotically by a large group of people and (ii) you look ridiculous in trying to do what cannot be done. Why is this so hard to understand?
