I've largely moved on from HN anyway, and I've been way more productive. This should only help. Who is the heir apparent for HN? Lobste.rs? Back to Slashdot?

Right. I think this is what bothers me about this list. It's material driven. There's a saying that goes (paraphrasing) "don't wish for better circumstances, wish to be a better person." For what shall it profit a
