This sounds forced/scripted beyond belief. It really reads like an Amazon review written in exchange of a product: > I love my FooBar 2001. I spent the past weekend migrating my dishwasher's contents into my new FooBar 2001 and it was a very pleasant experience. I was intimidated by how much work it would be at first but to my surprise it was A BREEZE. I'm so happy now with my new Foobar 2001 that I will probably use my dishwasher as a litterbox.

I mean... I work for a related company (as mentioned in the post)... sorry for being excited about something they're working on? I just felt the need to comment because a lot of the comments remind me of my first impression of the product before I really gave it a chance. I was so angry they were working on it, they started working on it after a quiet period following the Fog Creek / Trello split and my first impression was they were merely looking for something to waste their time doing, it just didn't make sense. But, I tried it, and damn I love it. You can go look through my 5 years worth of HN comments if you'd like, when I like something I am always this excited about it.

  There ya go - should have started out your previous comment with this text. This one sounds much more honest and thoughtful. Again, not questioning your ethics. Just trying help make your argument more impactful.

    Yeah, very valid. The comment was stream-of-consciousness because I saw this post when I got home from a pre-new-years-eve party last night. Honestly with the rest of this thread and the feedback though, I wish I hadn't posted it at all. I used to really enjoy participating in this community.
