It is highly unusual for a show HN to be full of nothing but positive comments from new accounts, all not only saying it is great but knowing the competitive landscape. I'm not saying that you 100% are filling this post with your own marketing - it could be coincidence, but it doesn't look like honest conversation.

That's because he has turned to his early adopters asking those who are account holders to upvote. So I can only presume many of his early adopters don't have thema and have signed up. You can find our feedback at https://groups.google.com/u/0/g/braintool-discussion along with his messsage to us.

With that said, I feel it was un-necessary for you comment as such. If you had any reservation on the validity of the comments/accounts it should have been addressed to the poster directly and/or HN. To me your are violating, maybe I am too with my comment, the guidelines.

Ah. From those guidelines:

"Don't solicit upvotes, comments, or submissions. Users should vote and comment when they run across something they personally find interesting—not for promotion."
