Consider how many people disagree with you here. Well-respected users.
If we disagree with you here on what you may have thought a well-regarded idea, who is to say how many well-regarded comments we are now going to miss?
How many excellent comments are headed for the dustbin because of a misunderstanding?
This might work, but it will turn HN into a community that is very inward.
We can try it out, and if it doesn't work switch it back.
How can we try it out? How can all non moderators know what they are missing?
