Paul Graham, who started HN, is one of those people: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117171 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117171 . Generally, HN strongly discourages "me too" or "i agree" type comments. We prefer to just upvote comments in order to keep discussion threads interesting and on-topic.
