I'm relatively new to HN. Is this kind of meta circle-jerkery common? In the last week I've seen more posts about HN on HN than I think is really necessary.
Why is this getting upvoted instead of flagged? This adds nothing of value whatsoever and is the kind of thing that normally gets flagged to hell. Seriously, we don't need this - there is no useful information to be obtained here and no potential for interesting discussion.

2) It is a experiment to gauge the reaction of the HN community.
3) It provides value (if only satirical), otherwise people wouldn't have upvoted it.
