Is anyone else a little upset to see that the "use 'fucking' in your title to get to the front page" tactic is still working? I understand that 'fucking' is in the original submission, but I really can't understand how a small 4-paragraph rant (by the author's own admission) makes it to the front page in <20 minutes except for the fact that HN seems to love the word 'fucking'.
[flash edit] I mean no disrespect to the author and the point he makes with the article.
