Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Wendy McElroy's site as a source on pornography and free speech, citing her book XXX, and a news post about Mac Terminal apps. The comments only cite or link it, without judging the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
This makes me want to read Nadine Strossen's books. Interestingly "Defending Pornography" came out the same year Wendy McElroy's "XXX" did. ( http://www.wendymcelroy.com/xxx/ ) Interesting coincidence.

HN discussionTerminal.app definitely still has problems in Snow Leopard; especially the lack of 256 color support. I've switched to using iTerm2, a replacement terminal emulator, and it's solved most of my complaints about Terminal.app. Hopefully Lion rolls a lot of those fixes into Terminal.app. [1] http://www.wendymcelroy.com/news.php?extend.4010
