Given the content is all ostensibly public, I'd put in a quick second for a blog post (or longer form) on "dang's informal observations from marinating in the raw stream of HN comments."

To state the obvious, I don't think anyone spends as much time on HN as the moderation team, in the sense of reading comments widely. At least... I'd hope none of us dedicate that much time. (Btw, always thanks!)
