Bummed to see this thing dropping like a rock off the main page.
24 points in 26 minutes should have this article in the #2 slot, not #26. Is HN downmodding because it doesn't like the mirror?

edit: something changed - now it's at #3... sufficiently many upvotes?

- jacquesm 14y agoYou can unflag it if you want to.

- imgabe 14y agoBecause it doesn't violate any of the HN guidelines and is pretty clearly of interest to HN readers?

- jacquesm 14y ago> Why would I want to? Because you're flagging something for all the wrong reasons. You're assuming that this was submitted by someone just for pageviews but I see no evidence of that. TC articles hit HN with some regularity, sometimes within seconds of being posted there. Also, there is such a thing as the bookmarklet which makes such submissions as easy as clicking two buttons. Anything on TC mentioning Aaron Swartz is pretty much guaranteed to be submitted, and only the very first of those upvotes was the submitter. The 50+ following it were others and your 'flag' counts as heavy as 10 upvotes. So you're hitting 9 people for all the wrong reasons.
- subsystem 14y agoEspecially since the TC timestamp seems to be updated every five minutes, probably because of caching.

- jacquesm 14y agoI don't think anybody is 'winning' here, especially not in the light of the last few days. You asked for arguments, I gave you some, if they're not good enough then that's fine with me. Those that downvote this man, please stop, it serves no purpose.
