I suspect that a couple months is too short a time frame to judge this—too prone to sample bias and normal fluctuation. But please keep flagging such comments when you see them. No one can read all the comments posted to HN, but we can and do read all the flagged ones.<p>In case anyone is wondering, the way you flag a comment is to click its timestamp to go to its page (a speed bump to prevent people from doing it impulsively), and then clicking &#x27;flag&#x27; at the top. You need a small amount of karma (currently 31) before that link appears.
