  To be fair, although important, these comment threads do not gratify intellectual curiosity. If anything, it just depresses me (and yet I keep going to /active to find them).

    Don't they? I've heard people talking about a third term since October all over the web but this HN thread is the first where I've seen actual ideas floated about how he could do it. The reason I come to /active to find these threads rather than just reading the AP report is because I respect my co-commentors here a great deal and know that they're the type of people to try to verbalise the technical issues at play. In short because this is the only place where these discussions can satisfy my intellectual curiosity rather than just blindly feeding into/denying there's any need for hysteria.

Don't get me wrong, I've learned a bunch from these threads too, but there is a lot of anger, frustration and hatred in these threads, so I can definitely see why people tend to flag them (even though I don't do so myself).
