ahh hacker news never fails, great feedback from all, which further proves the quality of contributors here... i don't agree it is with luck that people find hacker news, sure some percentage do, but do these people recognize the tremendous value of hacker news when they come across it?...probably not most. if ones does enough reading/research on the web about things related to computers, programming, science, engineering, or technology, they are almost certain to stumble across hacker news and recognize its value...so it is more statistics related to the time a person spends trying to innovate and learn using the web...and these are the people I want on hacker news because selfishly I learn the most from them..and I hope vice versa... elitist? The belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources? I do not think hacker news readers/contributors deserve special/favoured treatment. I do think hacker news readers/contributors are in the higher percentile of intellect, but not necessarily in social status or financial resources. private? Am I excluding people? No, I just choose not to advertise it, I prefer they find it on their own and recognize its value because I feel it provides a litmus test to the type of people that make this forum so great. But I would never shun or try and forbid anyone from advertising Hacker news...I was just interested in peoples opinion on the matter...so thank you. i mean how did reddit get so bad, that place is horrible, i would hate it if this happened to hacker news...but then again i would probably keep using the web to learn, innovate, and grow and more than likely stumble onto the next hacker news...
