@Don it seems like the salient points here are: 1. From your description of the problem you ran in to, it sounds like it might be different from the asker's original problem. Because this is a question-and-answer site and not a forum, we try to only have answers that attempt to answer the question that was originally asked. 2. Your answer appears to be very short and low-effort (you didn't even bother to capitalize "For") and is to an old popular question with plenty of good answers already, so people aren't inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt.

@Andrew if you post that as an answer on my question, then if it works and doesn't block other stuff I'll accept it.

@Andrew would that also block the list of questions from tex.stackexchange.com?

@Andrew I tried that a while ago; IIRC there's no clear selector to use to pick out the list (it's just an unlabled div or something).

@Andrew Any solution that blocks the HNQ list from that page is a good answer to me.

@fixer1234 That question is about blocking the HNQ sidebar, whereas mine is about blocking the full-page HNQ list at stackexchange.com. Similar motivation, but none of the answers to that question are applicable to mine.
