You must be hurting from patting yourself in the back. You should first remember that front page is a matter not only of interest to the community, but timing, luck and moment. It's meaningless that it took a week to be in the front page. It's there now and we are discussing it. And it also doesn't diminish the value of other discussions that is dear to HN readers.
If you feel like antagonizing an entire community, maybe you should consider just leaving it and finding your own group. It'll be hard for us but we'll make it here without you.
