Matt, most of the stories on NonHackerNews.com could be on HN with no issues. So I don't get it. Why do you want to splinter a community you've helped build and maintain one of the top accounts with? Why name it NonHackerNews and not RandomSocialNews.com or LightlyModeratedSocialDiscussion.com? I don't see what this new site has to do with HN at all (besides you)
It's like I've stumbled upon bizaro Friday.
