I think of you as a good HN contributor, but you've been posting a lot of unsubstantive comments lately, and breaking the site guidelines in other ways too. Can you please stop doing this, and return to using HN in the intended spirit? Your substantive, thoughtful points are welcome, but not comments like this current one, nor these (to pick a few examples):

I have definitely become a curmudgeon but will strive to make my comments more constructive.

No one who has gone full curmudgeon would describe themselves that way so I sense a margin of hope :)
