Considerable discussion from 800 days ago:

There are many other times that this has been discussed here on HN, but with no means of having cross-referenced them, they are a pain to find, and thus we repeat the same discussion with the same points again.
For those of you who are tired of hearing/reading me saying these sorts of things, this is absolutely the last time. I only wish I had the skill, background and time to implement some of the obvious solutions that would make HN a useful resource, as well as a source of new links, articles and discussions.
