This is a truly amazing place. I know there are some haters out there, (your ngates and your shithnsays's), but HN is a truly unique board, with overall quality discussion, and a high SNR, and the moderation policy is a huge part of all of this.
So seriously, thanks dang. I think we've come to blows a few times, probably even not-so-kind ones, but whatever you're doing here works and you should probably keep doing it :)
