Which is dumb, linking to status pages shouldn't be on HN. A blog that has analysis and explanations of outages or post mortems should.

Dang doesn't see messages like that unless you use the footer Contact link, but I remember a comment from him a while back that I would summarize as "Some site users think it's a good use of HN, and other site users disagree and flag it, and we downweight/dedupe them sometimes and/or if someone emails us with the Contact link". I just didn't want you to wait for a reply that'll never come unless you Contact them.
hehe I know, was just saying more for fun, but I appreciate the comment none the less.
