Centurylink is not a fast moving, nimble organization where most employees are team players. They are a legacy telecom provider that is an amalgamation of decades old systems held together with baling wire and the halfhearted effort of many employees, rocking the boat can backfire on you badly with them.

If your willing to put up with the process (gears turn slowly in Lumen/Centurylink land) issues like this can get resolved, but if you want more responsive service at comically low prices your going to need to move to Ziply territory north of Seattle.

That isn't how the algorithms work for front page. Naming it something like this that does show up on the front page only attracts more attention to it as people go "WTF is that?!" as it is unusual and then go and click on it.

I think you can mail the HN mod team and they can hide it

It's got me a little skeeved out. Maybe I shouldn't have clicked the link.
