Interesting that the very post in question is a pristine example of a flash of genius insight ("What's broken about the social news model and causes every social news site to turn into hogwash eventually") buried in the middle of a tedious rant.

To Giles: If you want to make the world a better place take a look at yourself and make a change! The value of this post could have been communicated in about 3 paragraphs, with no dubious pictures and ranting nonsense.

That said, a very interesting point.

I actually liked the rambling, ranting quality of the post. "People are asking themselves how to save Hacker News, and they need to realize there is only one technology which can save Hacker News, and that is the time machine" <- priceless :)

I probably wouldn't have read the post if it were shorter and dryer, though it looks like it had the opposite effect on many.

I have to agree, all the rambly cultural references made it really fun to read!
