Are all pines edible or only the Eastern White Pine discussed in this article? How about other trees?

You might want to re-read his posts then. He said that YOUR posts are too reddit-y, not that HN is turning in to reddit. Thankfully we have more people submitting than just you.

I wasn't talking about up-or-down monitoring. That's just last resort. But once you're down, you're too late.

Actually, I'm not too opposed to meta-discussion on HN. It does serve a purpose and I have argued in favour of it in the past. But I do see opponents point that meta-discussion tends to get very repeating after a while and even self-serving

I'm pointing him to some other place where his luck is likely to be better. It may or may not be a black hole, but at least he's out of this black hole. And stops bothering us on top of that. Win-win.
