(source: owner of Bob)

"owner of gimmick dishwasher company seeks liquidity event"

What in god's name made you think this was a credible idea for a product?

I read this as "owner of _a_ Bob", as opposed to the owner of the actual company.

I can see now how that line can give the wrong impression. My unit is very dear to me, to the point where I call it by name like any other housemate. It's always "honey, I'll give Bob a go at these dishes". I guess I was expecting constructive discourse on HN without having to dodge knee-jerk comments at every step.

Well, it is conceivable that the owner of the Bob company might post here.

I agree with you otherwise.
