Where is he "as famous"?

On HN? Or somewhere else (if so where?) where he is "as famous as PG on HN".

If you mean he is as famous on HN as PG is on HN I don't think that is the case.

You'd be surprised.

HN has become mainstream enough that a lot of readers don't know who pg is. This is what getting linked from reddit, digg, etc leads to. I don't mean this is bad, or good. It's the way it is.

He means that the following are equivalent:

* How famous PG is in HN

* How famous homakov is in HN

I suppose you can say he is a sort of Parental Guidance for HN.
