feedback once again appreciated. i see what you're saying about minimizing the number of comments. like i say, i'm much more use to environments where it's considered impolite not to respond to somebody if they have a decent point. live and learn. which of my replies do you think i should have omitted.
on the capitalization front, i hear you saying that a lot of people on HN are like the worst kind of VCs, the ones who will judge an entrepreneur based on appearance. disappointing.
the "break the rules, just not the ones that matter" quote is from pg in "What we look for". i like your reworking better (although it's got the same challenge about subjectivity -- who decides what matters?) this isn't a rule, though, it's more like a norm. from what you've said, suppressing my personality and adhering to the norm may make me more popular here. is that how most people see HN?
