The comment isn't interesting but the question behind it is quite legit: it's odd to say the least that a post like this would surface on the front page, here where you'd assume most if not all are already aware of it. It'd be interesting to know why.

Why would you assume that?

Do you have a list of other topics that are so obvious that no Hacker News community member can possibly gain any value what so ever from reading about them?

I am adding this comment to my clip board. It will save me having to use it everywhere. £*() polluting the comment stream again.

Oh gods of efficiency, tell us how to calculate the value of a post, so that we can smite the ones lesser than a threshold.
