Look guys, I know you're ticked at all the _why articles, but the Erlang flood is just pissing me off. Do I have to love Erlang to be allowed on HN now? Is this news.erlang.org? I don't mind the occasional article, but this is getting pretty ridiculous.
If it's your intention to drive people like me away, then congratulations, it's close to working. Fortunately, most days here I actually see good content.
- ErrantX 17y agowe should add a feature request to limit title keywords per hour... that would solve the problem (probably by fixing the _why issue in the first place)

- Semiapies 17y agoGood Erlang articles wouldn't suck. Every other hit from a Google of "Erlang" is closer to what we're seeing, though.
- Semiapies 17y agoI'm merrily flagging all the more egregious not-news ones, like this one.
- peoplerock 17y agoJust think of today as a no-procrastination holiday... We can all catch up on meaningful hacker news when the reddit-ers evaporate overnight :)
