Seems that way to me, too. Have 000 data to support that assertion, however. I post rarely, sometimes from NYT, and try to contribute articles that are germane, inspiring - not retellings or layman's gee-whiz reporting. Overall, I don't think this is an important problem for HN - if a problem at all. And of course, we can change it ourselves at any time.
