You are attacking some argument, but certainly not one anybody was making.

As for the rest, you seem rather to be rather proud of karma points on the Internet. As someone with almost as many of them, I am somewhat intrigued. Do I get access to some secret club that I never even dared to dream about before?

FWIW I have never had as much as an email conversation that started on HN. I actually doubt anybody even notices usernames. Personally tptacek(?) is the only name on HN I remember, and that’s only because he tends to make exactly my arguments, only better.

My other account, that I retired shortly after it hit the leaderboard last year, has 25k karma.

I will refer you here and then say no more on the matter cuz Reasons:

I've seen your posts frequently here and I think you make HN a better place. You provide a different perspective than many of us are used to hearing.

Thank you.
