Guys, I want to investigate this claim, but people keep making it without giving me any details to look into. If you give us a specific news item or date range, we can look at the data and see what was happening (we have access to internal and external tools that show where each story was ranked at different times).
Also: any time you know of an important story that you think should be on the front page, you can email us to let us know - hn@ycombinator.com. We'll either address it or explain why we're doing something other than what you're asking for.
> Someone relying on HN as their primary news aggregator
Who are these people who look only at HN and nothing else, expecting to be fully informed about everything that's important in the world? :)
