Hacker News Reader

No. You said it would be "read by pretty much noone". I pointed out that the Australian news media monitor the site.

Pretty stupid comment, really. No need to get uppity, I'm an Australian also.

My point being that your comment was the one that was getting uppity. What did you think that it added to the conversation? Yes, I did miss the line in the article saying that Vic Police had reported the problem to Apple. Fair enough, I made a mistake, and the first response called me out for it. You then decided to pile on with a zero content response. I mean seriously, your comment added exactly zero to the conversation. There's no point coming off all hurt by my sarcastic rejoinder - if you want to throw stones, you have to expect them to be thrown back...

Actually, I added to it. Sorry you took it the wrong way. I merely mentioned that HN had picked it up, and that the Australian media monitors the website. I think it might have been the "not to mention it" bits I put into the post that might have been misconstrued... I guess I didn't realize they'd be seen as aggressive. That was not my intent!

None of these points had been brought up before, so I'd hardly call that a "zero content response".

Peace, I wasn't throwing stones. And I don't see how it's helpful to any conversation on HN...
