Thanks, I went back and made it a point to upvote every single pun comment I saw. I hope I never take myself so seriously as to get all wound up over a harmless set of _internet comments_. I absolutely love HN but a shrine of immaculate content, it definitely is not.

I doubt folks are too "wound up" over it. It's more an understanding that HN is as successful as it is because the community actively discourages low-effort content. It's unfortunate that some people think that quality discussion communities just happen, as if Internet message boards were the one place in the universe that defied the forces of entropy.
