Submitting relevant links increases the signal. Voting limits the noise. I've never done either despite following Hacker News since it came online. Now I'm going to submit and vote more often because I want to see it continue to be the best. If each of us does this we'll have interesting news to read every day.

It's easy to forget that we make Hacker News. We can fend off the garbage by remembering to participate.

Submit and vote!
