FWIW, I don't have any dog in this race; I'm just a HN reader who liked Pinboard and voted for it.
Is it possible to address the points raised by `beeboop' and `killwhitey' above with the data available -- would long-term HN members have been enough to put Pinboard over the top ? (i.e. the vote brigading had no substantive effect and it was just the phone conversation that prompted the decision)
Even easier: how many up votes did the original "Apply HN" for Pinboard get before he sent out his first tweet about it?
If it's more than what one of the "winners" got in the second poll, then the whole argument is over.
