I think it's fair for the Show HNs to dominate the front page on their big day. I doubt it will stay that way.

If it does stay that way, it'll be a nice problem to have, since that would amount to a renaissance of creative work—at least in quantity if not in quality. (And quantity can lead to quality, too.) In any case, we'll burn that bridge when we come to it, as a teammate of mine used to say.

I tend to resist the idea of balkanizing the front page. It seems to me in the essence of HN that you have one front page and everyone's dissatisfied with it.

I wouldn't say get them off the front page, but at least weigh them down.

I'd love an option in my profile "Don't show show HN"

Let's not have Show HN suffer the same fate as "New".
