Hold on. You've been here for almost two years. You registered 8 months and 11 days after News.YC launched. You are in no way a newcomer.

PS: Cool, an excuse to use Wolfram Alpha! It does calendar computations quite nicely. "Feb 19, 2007 to X days ago" to figure out when someone joined relative to the launch of News.YC.

Yeah, I registered two years ago and clicked five times. After that I've been here just once. Then I started contributing a week ago. So I am indeed a newcomer.

If no one knew you're a newcomer until you told us, there's no way for this article to be pertinent to your perceived slights.

It's more the other way around: No one knew me so they assumed I'm new. Don't you ever look at the author of a submission or comment to recognize the nick?
