How Not To Promote Your New Startup

If you comment on tech blogs like this, you're probably a loser. People who accomplish things don't have time to leave comments in tech blogs unless there are stories written about them.

That means if you are reading this, you are probably a loser.

Sorry, fags.

Hey, HNers! Keep baiting him! The weather satellites show a spike in temperature over his location. At the rate he's steaming up, he'll explode into a fine red mist in a couple of hours!

("Fags"? Really? This from a grown-up? Utterly bizarre. Is this a fake account or something? It's done well, if so.)

Yeah. I can't believe anybody would really use the "f" word in a forum like this (or ideally anywhere, but especially in an otherwise civil, focused forum like this). Probably (hopefully?) a fake account.

His own replies to his google groups posting are just as bizarre. Sadly, this looks authentic.

Eh, the account was only registered to respond to this post. I'd presume John innocent until proven guilty.

I was referring to the follow up comments made on BarCampLA using the same gmail account as his original post there. Those comments have the same tone as the ones made here.
