Testbot, you are also relatively new to this community. It is very different and the best experiment into a social comment platform that actually works and brings greater knowledge and understanding to it's members, by it's members.

HN is helpful, contemplative, and the best place I know to have civil discussions about the taboo. ( http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html )

PG's essays are highly recommended and his thoughts have to some extent helped define this community.

I hope that you continue to return, engage, and grow with us.
