 So Long and Thanks for all the Bits
Interesting.  I've been working on a blog post entitled "My slow disengagement from HN" about why I had been slowly walking away.  But people might as well read yours.I've been consuming HN through the newsyc50 Twitter account which only shows me news items that have > 50 points.  I started out with newsyc20 (> 20) and have been weaning myself off.I've found that stopping reading the conversations has been the easiest part, but that HN's filter of interesting stories is hard to beat.
