Agree. But you should be aware that culturally different point of views and requests to avoid US-centrism on HN are often downvoted. I have experienced it myself. I do not care that much except that I fear other potential contributors may feel it as an injunction to "shut up".
For exmple, I detected that many of my colleagues (in an It company) read HN very regularly, but I am under the impression that they would not try to comment or would be repelled by downvotes.
