This is the worst discussion on HN I have ever seen.
I'd downvote you if I could... but I think that's why you replied.
Everyone here created an account at some point. This one was created by me about 95 days ago. I see you have observed that. Very nice I guess.
observance Noun
* The action or practice of fulfilling or respecting the requirements of law, morality, or ritual.
* An act performed for religious or ceremonial reasons.
> That is what my commented contributed towards.
Well, actually, you failed in your observance of the guidelines[1] of this website.
* Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face to face conversation.
I doubt you'd have said that to me in person. You can claim on here you would, of course.
* If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. (It's a common semi-noob illusion.)
Your account is less than a year old, which is a threshold of some merit here.
* Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did.
I assume this applies to comments as well as submissions.
