Does the "TL;DR" sentiment really belong at HN at all? I'd like to think this community is above that. The whole thrust of the site is about/for people who aren't interested in taking the easy way out.

I always appreciate the efforts of HN'ers who post a TL;DR summary. It's less about taking the easy way out, and more about saving time.

In that case, why is tertius asking for a summary? If a summary is a good idea, the keyboard can be found between tertius' chair and screen ;-)

we just need an automated way to extract that information so it doesn't clutter the comments.

Figure out that one and the world will beat a path to your door ....
