well, this had the bizarre counting effect that had some people refreshing a lot to see how fast it was going down or if anyone was tweeting it to make it go back up etc.
You can roughly estimate the amount of visitors on a front-page HN post by 1 point :: 100 unique visitors. In this case, (17k visitors on 138 points), visitors viewed the page 3-4 times, which is unusual.
