Sorry, it's already National Cordon Bleu Day and National Hug a Newsman Day.

is there a day that isn't "The Day of Something"? i like the idea of webmaster's day!

Or what is the first day that is not known for anything? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interesting_number_paradox

Who on earth would want to hug a newsman?

Now webmasters everyone loves! :)

What is this doing on the HN front page? It's fluff, and not particularly good one at that. Please remove/flag this.

That is your opinion and PG has given you the opportunity to act on it by so pressing the flag button.

Others, me included, might want to press the up arrow because it was a clever idea, 404, 4.04, and a day to celebrate webmasters is really cool. Maybe it could be celebrated by gatherings, conferences, etc.

I'm well aware of the existence of the flag button. From experience, however, a comment urging others to hit the flag button helps bury lousy entries like this a lot faster than average. As demonstrated.

I should also urge you to look at the submissions guidelines for HN - this falls rather squarely into the 'unsubstantial, crap content' category. Again, speaking from experience - I make it a point to alert other members when I can (the flagging usually begins shortly after). Front-page space is precious; it's too expensive to waste it on something like this (edit: that rarely encourages interesting conversation).

Yes, it should be the official webmaster's day.
