Yes, I use hide sometimes, particularly after Apple releases a new product. In keeping with what I imagine to be a YC philosophy, it is a simple thing that might work. In keeping with what I imagine is the site's implementation, it is a list. In keeping with HN's culture, it has limited disruption to everyone-sees-the-same-thing. I could be wrong, but custom user regex's doesn't seem to fit with these. There's also the additional processing load for running regex's on the server and the DOS surface area that would add... But you might argue the regex could be implemented on the client using javascript. And that would put us in total agreement.
