That would be "hacking" if I tried to do so.

I am pretty good at skimming the posts, noting which come from RW outlets (the operation is run by a VC, Paul Graham)
But not separating the tech from the other stuff within a thread.

Interestingly I learned that the "site" that Hacker News appends to the title of a post is not created by the author. The code somehow figures it out. I often do that with DU threads, though space is limited.
