I've posted 23 comments in the last 24 hours, 386 in the last month, 4828 in the last year. Plenty of things get my attention! A couple points that are important, if you want to understand how moderation works on HN: (1) we're mostly responding to a random sample of the total - there's far too much content for us to read it all.
