Hmmm. Thanks... but why do I need someone to edit my stuff? I'm not scared of putting myself out there. Even with unfinished thoughts. I can handle the comments. How else is anybody going to learn and grow? What does HN submission quality mean? It says it right there in the news guidelines: "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity". Sounds about right to me. HN is not the NYT. I'm just a hacker trying to figure stuff out.
