Wow, this is the third time I've seen this link climbing up HN front page in the past hour [1][2]. I'm interested in this topic, why does it keep getting flagged?

I wonder why too. The thumb seems to be on the scale on this one, either algorithmicly or by mods; which it is, I don't know.

The main discussion thread has been reliably showing up on page 2 in the past hour or so.
