I should just add something for Smashing Magazine headlines that strips off the initial number+adjective.

  Can you just add something that kills all headlines that have an initial number+adjective? I'd really hate for HN to become http://delicious.com/popular http://delicious.com/popular.

    It's really amazing (though I guess it shouldn't be surprising) that the saturation there is approaching 100%.

      It's because Delicious is something people use to save things, and anything in the form of a list is something that seems like it ought to be kept. You can make any essay seem like a reference work by recasting it as a numbered list. Delicious/popular was better before writers started intentionally gaming it by doing that sort of thing.
