This is a fascinating article, and it's been submitted and discussed many times in the past. Of course, all those discussions are now closed, so if there's anything new to say, this will be the place. Here are some of the previous submissions: Black Triangles 131 points 9 months ago 28 comments (http://rampantgames.com/blog/?p=7745) Black Triangles 2 points 10 months ago 0 comments (http://rampantgames.com/blog/?p=7745#) Black Triangles 3 points 10 months ago 0 comments (http://rampantgames.com/blog/?p=7745) The Black Triangle 1 points a year ago 0 comments (http://web.archive.org/web/20050306071700/http://www.rampantgames.com/blog/2004/10/black-triangle.html) The Black Triangle (2004) 1 points a year ago 0 comments (http://rampantgames.com/blog/2004_10_01_rampantgames_archive.html) The Black Triangle 2 points 3 years ago 0 comments (http://rampantgames.com/blog/2004/10/black-triangle.html) The Black Triangle [2004] 2 points 3 years ago 0 comments (http://rampantgames.com/blog/2004/10/black-triangle.html) The Black Triangle 3 points 3 years ago 0 comments (http://rampantgames.com/blog/2004/10/black-triangle.html) Black Triangles 2 points 3 years ago 0 comments (http://rampantgames.com/blog/2004/10/black-triangle.html?)

  Did you intend to link to the comment threads?

    I think he's just trying to politely point out that this has been submitted to HN several times in the past. Bonus for providing useful URLs for people who haven't yet read it and want to catch up.

    No, on this occasion I specifically intended not to link. If people want to they can look it up. In the past I've always provided links, and reactions have always been mixed. I'm now weaning myself off doing anything about the endless repeats, consciously taking the point of view that no one really cares, and it's not that big a problem. I've written about this at length in the past. Do you think I ought to provide the links?
