As someone who came here from reddit because it was turning into digg, I agree. The quality of the articles and comments on HN is amazing and it's great to be able to come here and actually be interested in every link without having to skip past all the images of cute animals and political trash. I am aware that the number of users and the quality of a site like this is inversely correlated, so I think taking every action to preserve the original idea and intent of HN should be a high priority of the members here. Thanks for bringing me great tech links HN!
