I stumbled upon this site a couple of years ago--maybe more? I don't add much to discussions, and embarrassing use it as therapy. Thanks guys for not being too hard on me. For so long, I didn't even know how certain features work. I still haven't even read the rules. That would probally explain why forever I didn't know what you guys were talking about with down/up votes. The arrows weren't on my screen. I guess I was banned? They are now there, but I wish the only arrow was a up arrow. Never saw the need for the down arrow? I only access this site when I'm on my iPad. I guess it's just habit. I never come back to a post, unless I ask a question. Just don't like to argue, and unless we are talking about the poor, or animal abuse, I don't want to get all riled up. I did look into this making a HN type site, but haven't succeeded. It would not clone HN. It would just be for a niche group of people, interested in old mechanical watches-- basically their repair. When I found out this site was built with lisp, I immediately got a book on lisp. I still haven't got through it either. See the pattern; I don't follow through. I can honesly state, I believe this is the best site on the Internet, and I'm so glad Paul Graham decided to build it, and not change it up too much. Thank you Mr. Graham!
