I agree with his ultimate conclusion -- don't start a forum.

Does PG actually modertate HN?

I thought he had mods like dang to take care of it for him.

I'd be more interested to hear what dang thinks of HN than what PG thinks.

You could read "The Lonely Work of Moderating Hacker News". It is a great article.

It's rather silly, but until I read this article, I'd always assumed dang was Asian.

I thought so too, but Wikipedia said Chinese, so I went with it.
