I have to say, I'm guilty of short humourous comments on HN and I feel slightly bad about doing it.. because there's reddit for relaxed convos, and HN was more about deep chat about tech related articles / texts.

I think it's good to keep the quick fun under control.

I don't think it's a zero-sum game. Get where you're coming from, though. If the joke comments consistently got more upvotes than the serious ones, it would make threads unreadable.

That said, I think there is a happy medium which isn't entirely po-faced.
