I write all these things for you. I brain, "what would mechanical_fish like to read about today", and my brain responds, "FIVE HUNDRED PAGES OF RANTING ABOUT THE UNFAIRNESS OF CISPA COVERAGE", and I oblige. You're welcome.

For what it's worth, the way I read HN is:

a) Skim the front page

b) Go to tptacek's comments page and read everything

Almost every comment you write having anything to do with crypto is absolutely fascinating and since realizing how much I enjoy and learn from your comments I've been actively stalking you. Thanks.

All part of my not-so-secret plot to usurp the site from 'pg.

It's not a bad policy, but good grief, keeping up with that comment page is a full-time job.

It's these little routines that bring joy to one's existence. The sun rises and sets, I drink coffee in the morning and beer in the evening, you complain about CISPA coverage, patio11 complains about picodollars, I complain about the lousy state of scientific publishing in the internet era. It's the circle of life.
