It looks like HN auto-kills *.co.ke links.

Impressive, given that's the country code for Kenya :)

.co.ke for companies .or.ke for NGOs .me.ke for personal websites and emails .ac.ke for academic institutions

I wonder if HN had a big spam issue in the past from Kenyan domains?

    Doubtful. .ke domains don't pack that much SEO juice and are a little more expensive than generic TLDs, so I don't see them being appealing for spammers.

    Ha, ha - thank you. I learned something!

    Now to go buy some co.ke (domains) to amuse myself.

    or if google employes where downvoating negative stories it would be interesting to see the ip addresses of any down votes.

    normal companies ban employees from participating in online discussions about their company certinaly at British telecom uk.telecom and alt.2600 where off-limits.

    Though I was asked by our press office to post an oficial respose to alt.2600 once but SD (security directoy) put a stop to that :-)

Really? That seems very bad form, since it's the country code for a medium sized country with a higher population than Canada.
