Why are we having Erlang day instead of _why day?

Why do we have to have Erlang day while I am knee deep in messy PHP work?

They're trying to chase away the _why articles; or so I'm told.
What are we, an 'antisocial news' website now?

Go ahead, bury me. :\",

It's the only way to prune the rose bush. Shit was getting pretty wilted.
No, it wasn't. Some of us have flag options for a reason.
Apparently a lot of people disagree with you, given the number of Erlang articles. Not that it's a very good way to deal with the problem.

Not that said "problem" can be identified objectively, anyway.

Not that flagging does enough anymore even if you did agree there was a problem, thanks to the fact that herd upvotes are now taken into account when determining how many flags are necessary.

I see what you did there.
Chapeau! It's hacks like this that make me love the HN community :)
Personally? I find the slew of erlang articles to be far more annoying than the _why articles.
