Oh well, at least he can take solace in
> that no matter how bad my talk, it won't be remembered.
Please, try to understand what others try to do before throwing unwarranted insults in the conversation.
That was a joke. So? There are a lot of people that ignores what I said. I wasn't attacking the author, just adding some rare facts to the conversation for people that could be unaware of it and wonder wth the author was meaning.
Now your comment, what exactly does it add to the conversation?
Edit: your response (that I can't responde to) is even worse. <sigh>
Please don't do flamewars on HN. You guys have managed to produce almost half the thread at this point. That's some low-quality yield.
- Pedantry - Rude - Dickish dismissal - Dismissive jerk - Unkind
And then "lighten up" :)
I wasn't responding to your original comment, which I thought added value.
I was responding to "It doesn't matter."
You're dismissing someone else's perception of the context in which the statement was made.
Sure, humor might not matter to you.
To some HN users, it might even matter less than factual correctness to a granular level. But to say it doesn't matter, full stop? That's just rude.

It circles back from your dickish dismissal with an excerpt from the webpage for the sake of humor.
Try lightening up. Or, at the very least, maybe try to not be a dismissive jerk to other people. It costs very little to be kind.

Please don't do tedious tit-for-tats on HN. As the guidelines say in another context, it never does any good and it makes boring reading.
