So retarded, seems my post got flagged. Mysterious dropped from the front page to page 3. Not sure why, there is some great discussion and feedback here. My biggest complaint about HN is that its not a true democracy, there are a few with god powers that influence all the content.

it's not mysterious at all, it's the "controversial" filter - it got more comments than votes.
