I do, but I do that on Twitter, because, as you've found out, HN will downvote you into oblivion.

Ah ha! Sorry, I didn't see that: usually, new users are in green. (also, your account is 163 days old?) If you haven't checked it out, you should check out the community guidelines: http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
For what it's worth, I am not trying to 'bash [you]'... but I don't think this was a great comment. Try to keep them more substantial here. Different forums are appropriate for different kinds of discourse, and short little comments are generally not taken very well here.
The same happens to "+1", "thanks", and "interesting!" comments. If you can't write more than two sentences, you probably shouldn't post.
