My account is six months older than yours. I lurked here for quite a while prior to creating this account.

I guess the difference between our experiences is that I didn't internalize the smug superiority that runs rampant on this website.

I think the user you're referring to is merely making an observation, not speaking out of malevolence nor arrogance. I was also lurking (my username checks out) for years before I made an account, and I've always felt that HN has one of the smartest groups of people on the web.
