I experimented with the "/newest" link a while back and I decided that it was not a good use of my limited reading time. It was better to read the threads that the crowd voted up to the default HN front page or the "/best" algorithm for some older threads.
The issue is that the "/newest" would only work for me if it was a whitelist of the 50 HN users' opinions I trust.
(And nothing against you personally because I don't know you but I notice that /newest page has many more submissions by crazypython because you've submitted many articles in the last 24 hours. Do I need to see more crazypython submissions?!? I dunno.)
But I'm willing to be convinced that I should expend reading effort on the /newest page again.
