And I'm upvoting him. Because hes right. I don't want to read 3 of the same stories. And this happens way too often with HN. He knows what hes talking about.
Sorry if trying to preserve and fight for democracy disrupts your daily news reading flow. I bet you're the type of person that gets easily upset about people protesting in the streets against the government, too - because it makes you late for the movies or something.
And yes, I realize my comment is against HN's behavior rules, but in times like this, I think it's silly to say something like that. HN also played a big role in stopping SOPA/PIPA before, by keeping those sort of stories popular on the front page. I'd like to believe it can do that again, when there is a lot more at stake than in SOPA's case here.
