I thought that this 'discussion' had been done and dusted a week or two ago, but it seems not.
In some cases (though certainly not all) an HR _does_ have semantic value, that is why its name is being changed to 'seperator' in HTML5, apparently. By the sounds of it, the poster is using an HR as a seperator, therefore it has more than just presentational value. As a comparison, try removing all of your P tags, and see if the white space they give you is purely presentational!
