Isn't HN actively monitored by a number of YC people? It's possible any of them downmodded this, not PG.

Could be just regular users as well. Anyone who has enough karma can "flag" a post, and a few flags will typically knock something off the front page (unless it has a ton of upvotes counteracting that).

I wouldn't know, but that sounds logical enough.

I would love to know though...

It could be that we had high comments / low points? I really don't know, it just doesn't make much sense.

I would be surprised if they don't monitor.
