prolly because i am not afraid of being hellbanned or whatever hacker news calls it these days. been there before. remind me to tell you about the time i was banned from the quarter-to-three forums sometime.

or maybe i'm more of an austin-game-guy rather than a bay-area-groupthink guy?

or maybe it's because i've only recently bothered to comment? in fact, i think this one may push me over into a double-digit comment count!

shrug

most likely, tho, it's because i've been commenting like that forever and a day (in internet time). a quick google search nets me this example from about 8 years ago: http://gillen.cream.org/wordpress_html/839/something-awful-3...

thanks for pointing it out tho. i'll try to remember going forward that, unlike the rest of the internet, there's a pretentious law here not to sign your posts.
