- SixSigma 12y agoIt's usually people jumping on the Karma train. One article gets front page, user finds something related and instead of posting it in the comments, posts it as a new thread. I'm a long time plan9 user, I've seen this pattern on HN before for plan9 so presume it is the same for other topic areas. Expect a link to 9front or plan9ports soon.
