I am not keen on these April 1st jokes being posted on HN and it's going to get annoying with all these "true or not true" stories (especially when some truth is added to false articles). I can understand such articles making it to the frontpage of Reddit or Digg and even on Twitter but please discourage this activity from HN.

In fact HN, should do an April Fools celebration of allowing everyone to down-vote every article that is an April Fools joke.
