This mistake was corrected 30 minutes after the article was published. The article went through two technical reviews but apparently such mistakes still happen. Thanks for bringing it to our attention — the wording was incorrect.

Ask HN: What's your most useful CSS or JavaScript trick?
Over time we all learn little nifty coding tricks that help us solve common problems or anticipate potential bugs. What's your favorite CSS or JavaScript tip for beginners and professionals? What do you keep using often in your design or development work?
Ask HN: What is the first thing you do before starting a new project?
Starting from a blank sheet of paper is difficult. We all have our habits and we all have our small rituals before we start working on a new project. What is it for you? Is it turning on the music? Sharpening a pencil? Cleaning the desk?
Ask HN: If you could change one thing on the Web, what would it be?
We often find ourselves in a situation where we notice that things just aren't right. For instance, we believe that CAPTCHAs should not exist on the Web. HTML Newsletters are nasty and ugly, but at the moment we just have to work with them because of the popular email clients out there. What would you change on the Web if you could make a difference?What would it be and how would you change it?

Thank you very much for the very interesting study. The truth is that your findings are actually fairly correct. The problem is, however, that the vast majority of those who reply, do not use the hashtag. They just don't. There are usually more, much more replies that the ones with the hashtag, although relatively speaking it's still not what you probably would expect.
A more accurate average number of replies can be estimated if you consider how many users participate in a poll:

This poll was published on a low traffic weekend day which is clearly reflected by the number of participants.
Polls published on weekdays have of coruse a better response ratio:

We never get over 1000 replies to a single tweet, but 300-500 replies is a very reasonable number, especially if it's accumulated over a couple of days.
