Possible, but then let's just have that as a statement out in the open, then we can be done with it.
Instead of pointing people to the 'feature request' thread we could then give that as an answer. Right now it almost feels like giving someone a pacifier or a placebo.
In another thread someone literally used the words 'so he stops bothering us'.
There can be a conflict of interest between YC (ie PG) and HN users, particularly long-term ones. That's how I've come to terms with it. This forum is first and foremost a hook for entrepreneurs into YC and a way for PG to assess potential investees by their participation and statements. Everyone else is going along on their ride, at the core.
