Thanks, I didn't know that! Back to the main point: any "killer" of a community has nothing to do with the underlying technology, but the people behind the community. The only way HN would be killed by TC is if PG were to be the motivating force behind whatever it is that is going on at TC, and at the same time kill HN himself (unlikely). I would sure as hell welcome whatever TC has to offer as a competitor to HN as this fosters diversity in thinking...and at the same time offer a second place to exercise the proper use of language.
