I disagree. I mean, we don't want to keep it a secret but at the same time this site has always been really close knit and the people all really just "get it". If HN grows too large I fear for it. The web is full of Cretans and people who think they're thoughts are so worthy they must be heard. Lots of ignorance out there. I've seen some it here already. I learned the culture and studied the etiquette and what qualifies as a useful submission or comment before I really joined in. Not everyone is so thoughtful and it could really sour a once great community. You're obviously new around here so I'm not surprised you'd say that. I mean no disrespect - I do think you'll eventually change your mind though.
