I'm writing a ruby script right now, I'll post it if I can finish it before I leave the house.

possible to add karma & created? Might be interesting to see if there's a relationship b/w users.

To anyone currently developing scripts to analyse comments on HN, please also consider use of unqualified opinions presented as fact. Statements such as "most", "a lot", "many" and "no one" fall into this category as per [1].

It would be interesting to whether a relationship exists between karma and excessive use of "most", "a lot", etc.

Dude I honestly dream of some real time text parsing that seriously adds value to the quality of the conversation and moment. One of my goals is to make this for CompassionPit but I'd much rather get a killer solution from a 3rd party. I'd definitely pay for it too -- definitely at least $100/month.

usually when people say they don't mean to be a jerk, they're being a jerk. not intentional.. but the person will think you're a jerk, so it's basically the same effect, just that you'll feel better.
