What part of this comment seemed like a useful contribution to HN? If you knew anything about The Awl and didn't like it, that criticism would be useful: you'd be telling us things about it that we potentially didn't know or hadn't thought about. If you didn't know about The Awl, went and looked at it, and had something interesting to say about what you learned: that too would be interesting. But to know nothing about it, look at a couple headlines, and report back your discontent? What was the point in that? To provide a nucleation side for more lowbrow dismissal?
