1. HN is not a news filter website, it is a community. I am glad to be in this community.
2. HN as a web app is really a kind of a forum. It was shocking for me to realize this, because I hated forums from the days when they killed participation in mailinglists and irc in some of the communities I loved to be part of. I considered myself to be a person who "doesn't get" forums.
3. I am very interested to see how HN community will solve all those issues with filtering out trolls, foolish memes, menacing eternal september, boredom with the same type of news we will start to expect from each other and so on...
