Or perhaps we could just think of it as a first level filter. OK, there's no way to not sound elitist saying this, but if people can't figure out that it shouldn't have a www in front of it, how much are they really going to learn from the articles here?
- vimalg2 17y agoThat's exactly what I was quite content to think all these years. ;) But i'm growing up a bit. Who's to say an old-school non-computing-related engineer-ish sign-up couldn't have anything useful to contribute on HN. Isn't that motivation enough to fix it? Personally, I love reading war stories from some of the older, wiser 'beards' on HN.
- ryanelkins 17y agoYeah, I do feel a little bad for saying it - and I'm not even 100% sure I agree with it, but it was my first thought upon reading the suggestion. It's not so much that I think other people are idiots as much as I realize how much stuff is on here that is way over my own head. The thought wasn't that I don't want them here as much as it was "will they find anything here useful" but that really isn't my decision to make.
