I don't see any point in the parent's comment that indicates he didn't read the original messages. He's making clear that he doesn't like the new trend of calling the NoSQL term marketing bullshit, as the term actually serves to differentiate one type of store from another. I'm pretty sure this has to do with the original post.
I think I see your confusion. The headline is not the message thread. It's a link you need to click. Then you can read the actual message thread. Hope this helps!
I don't see why you where down voted, but I did read the message thread and both my comment and the comment of the grandparent make sense after having read the series of messages.
The parent to your comment is a great example of the kind of content-free snarky comment that Reddit rewards handsomely and Hacker News tends to punish. Ben's new here, but he'll get the hang of it. Took me a bit, too.
Your aggressive posturing in this snarky response caught my attention. Seeing your bio, I was intrigued to discover that you work for a multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation? I had no idea that makers of "Roundup" were involved in info security. Looking forward to learning more from you.
I think you might be confusing Matasano with Monsanto — unless Thomas hasn't told us something... ;p
