For what it's worth, it's a tough problem that you're trying to solve, and the feedback that the community has received thanks to your comments has been awesome. It's probably the most significant step toward fixing the uncivil comments on HN. I just wanted to mention that this is the first time that I can remember missing a major tech news story because it was buried off of the front page of HN. So it's the first time I've felt "out of the loop" due to relying solely on HN as my source of tech news. That said, it's not a big deal. I just felt I should mention it in case others are feeling the same way but aren't speaking up. It might just be me though. And there's nothing wrong with special cases. If this resignation story is just a special case, and the mods wish to bury it due to the sensitive nature of the topic plus the uncivil comments on HN, then that makes a lot of sense. I'm just hoping it doesn't become a trend to bury major tech news stories... EDIT: Er... the story's still on the front page, position #24. I guess I just missed it and then assumed it was buried.
