Anyone with enough karma is a moderator. You have way more karma than me, so you're a moderator too. I think the title you chose was a bit flamebaity (I wouldn't have flagged it myself though). If you had made a blog post about the state of software/tech reporting that linked to the Pogue piece and included quotes, then posted that to HN, I don't think it would have been flagged. As it was, you were insulting about Pogue and didn't make your broader point.
