Do we (HN members) need a HN social network?
apsurd: The hell is wrong with you!?  Just kidding.

Seriously though I read a great little post the other day (on HN). For the life of me I can't remember the link. Essentially it said how the author loved certain magazines/forums because the people there discussed things they were DOING.The author started getting into some other magazines/forums (i think) that had a lot of people talking about theory, concepts, dreams... i.e socializing.I loved the post because the point was crystal clear. It was beautiful. HN is a community of doers. Everyone has their own passions for things they want to (and are) creating. This is not the American Idol forums. We aren't talking about all the things we wish we could do, "if only..."  We are not in the clouds. Ok maybe some are, but this is not "the masses". HN is for creators, makers, doers, producers, builders - Not romanticists.Ok maybe I am being romantic, but please for the love of all that is good, HN is not a social network., it does not need a social network, and, and, and ... just get to work!!
