I think all submissions to HN should be submitted via snail-mail, and must be handwritten. That would solve the problem.

That being said, my mother used to insist on hand-written cover letters from job applicants. Her rationale: it takes effort, so it weeds out all the applications from people who are just randomly spraying out applications for jobs they are not qualified for.

Unfortunately I don’t think that it would solve the problem: https://www.google.com/search?q=handwritten+mail+service&udm...
First interview question is to submit a handwriting sample.
I taught myself to type because most people can't read my handwriting.

I would be so screwed. :-(

Marking the sarcasm here really ruins your humour.
