Hey! That's what I was about to say. Actually, my exact comment was about to be, "This isn't hacker news no matter how you look at it, but it's pretty interesting nonetheless."
Somehow we'll need to find a balance between what is interesting but isn't hacker news - sometimes, non-hacker news is interesting enough to deserve a place here, although most of the time it isn't. Or maybe we can just say, for the sake of safety, that anything non-hacker related is inappropriate? Not sure about that.
