I doubt it, and neither am I. I also thought your initial use of the hashtags to be in poor taste.

- logfromblammo 11y agoI actually find all uses of #-delineated keywords on Hacker News to be in poor taste. HN is not Twitter. It does not turn hashtags into clickable links. Until such automatic-linking support exists, as with HTTP URLs, it would probably be better to paste an HTTP URL for twitter.com that searches for the most recent tweets with the relevant hashtag word or phrase. That also removes the personal connection to the keyword. Rather than promoting a given phrase yourself, you are pointing to a community that has elected to use it by consensus, as a reference that may be useful for further information on the topics introduced in your post. Given the nature of hashtags, one person can hardly be held solely responsible for them. They aren't particularly useful unless a lot of people independently agree to use a particular word or phrase.
