A promotion, not a device. It's different.

Anyway the intent was more sarcasm than anything, but I guess I'll take the karma hit.

It made me laugh too, and I got the sarc, but I think it's the last bit which really killed the karma... And we're lauding this accomplishment? Or maybe add a </sarc> next time just to make it clear for everyone :)

If it was indeed sarcasm then it was too subtle for HN. I mean if you had posted that on 4chan then it would be blatant sarcasm, but people on HN take themselves a little to seriously so it's a lot harder to tell.
