- ColinWright 14y agoIndeed. It's an interesting problem though. Given something that should be of interest✝ to the HN community✝✝, suppose it gets submitted and ignored. Should it be submitted again and again until it gets the attention it deserves? When should it be decided that an item is not, in fact, of interest to HN? ✝ Whatever that means. ✝✝ Whoever they are.
