If your "if by 'if by "if by whiskey"'" comment means to regurgitate the tired and immature recursive "100 pushups" style threads so popular at Reddit, then these sorts of comments add nothing to the discussion, worsen the HN community, and are completely uninteresting to me. But if you mean to inject more clever and lighthearted humor into the overly dry and serious HN community, then I believe you do this community a great service, and I commend you for it. Don't bother arguing with me.
