a) Look around some more. An article about CSS hacks might not be a "startup article", but it may definitely be of interest to startup founders. This is decidedly different from an article about, say, Spider-man 3's box office success.

b) Excuse me? Nothing is off topic on Reddit.

Let's try a test:

- Who here is creating or has created a web page for their startup? Did it use some CSS?

- Who here has dealt with unions for their startup?

PG's article is not even practical in its treatment of unions, something that is a highly political topic. I guess politics is where I would really start to draw a line... some economics is ok, but PG isn't an economist, and this article, right or wrong, has little relevance for most of us here.

I'm not judging the article itself, but I hope in the future that that sort of discussion can be left to reddit. I sympathise with the point that "it's a tight community", but these things usually start to head downhill. I like to talk politics and economics myself, and would certainly enjoy doing so more here than on reddit, but if we all started posting articles about those sorts of things, I could see it becoming a bit too prevalent...

b) I can read, I swear! (I totally missed the thing about blatantly off topic. Dunno what I was thinking.)
