- tptacek 13y agoNo it wasn't. It at the top of the front page now.
- selmnoo 13y agoIt actually was earlier removed from frontpage, only to reappear after some 10 minutes or so.
- tptacek 13y agoMust be a conspiracy.

- tptacek 13y agoYes, I would. You probably know less than you think you do about what the people running HN are doing/trying to do.
- brymaster 13y agoSeems you knew about the the YC company-related submissions being boosted. What makes you think nothing strange is happening to any other submissions?
