Title: Hi Paul,<p>I know you wrote the HN guidelines specifying 'whatever hackers find interesting' is appropriate. However people take this two ways, either:<p>A. Whatever gets upvotes is OK, even if a large chunk of the articles on HN are about suicide bombers, the TSA, political leaks, etc and duplicate existing sites like Reddit.<p>B. Things that specifically Hackers find interesting - as opposed to the general population - belong on the front page.<p>IIRC you appealed for people to submit Scheme stories a while ago after an influx of new users came to visit, so I'm hoping for 2) to be your answer. If so, is there anything we as a community can do, asides from flagging articles (which we're already doing), to stop HN further becoming a general purpose news site?
