- notyourwork 10y agoWhy did you quote the article and not add a comment? I read that in the article so adding it here doesn't add any value to the discussion.
- hyperbovine 10y agoI appreciate somebody extracting the money quote. I don't even remotely have time to read everything posted here.
- itchyjunk 10y agoSame, I scan trough comments way more than I scan through articles.
- notyourwork 10y agoSo we might as well paste the articles in the comments section?
- thedarkginger 10y agoThought it was useful to give the reason he was quitting, as indicated by the text. Guess it didn't help here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- notyourwork 10y agoA regurgitation of what I read in the article is supposed to be helpful? It appears from reading the rest of the comments more than I come to discuss not just re-read what we already read in an article. I guess if we throw a cute face in its supposed to be innocently acceptable too right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Kinnard 10y agoThe loss of context can be dangerous and misleading.
- notyourwork 10y agoI am glad someone understands my concern with pasting a single quote from an article without context. Here it may be valuable, other articles perhaps not.
- hyperbovine 10y agoI'll be the judge of that.
- Kinnard 10y agoWithout the context?
- hyperbovine 10y agoIf the summary is truly eyebrow-raising then yes, I'd move the little pointer to the top of the screen and click the link. Whatever point you are trying to make here seems way overblown.
- notyourwork 10y agoThe reason I commented was the part he quoted could have been the title for the submission. It wasn't adding value to any discussion so I felt it wasn't needed. You and some others disagree with my point of view but judging by the amount of discussion on this post, I suspect majority agrees with me. And by that I mean pasting a quote without any additional context or comments isn't adding valuable discussion to hackernews threads. I come here for the discussion so the OP was off putting to me.
