Reading accepted instead of posted in your first post seems more fair.

I share your frustration of the walled gardens and seeing HN embracing that is very sad. In the meantime I can’t help but think about that discussion on open source/free licensed that should or should not allow copy to a closed source commune or commercial content.

What would you think of HN links treated as list of links that people can appended, up or down vote?

I agree my PRC argument is flawed for the reason you pointed, thanks.
