Agreed. I guess being sarcastic isn't a favourable trait on HN. I like everything he said in the message.

  One thing that doesn't work well on the internet is poking fun at a group you belong to yourself. In real life, the rules are different when you include yourself in the joke. On the internet, that's theoretically still the case, but in practice people are a lot slower to realize it, and even if you explicitly state it, they may not believe you.

    That's because the Internet is full of trolls and you can't tell the difference between someone poking fun at himself or some idiot who believes what he's saying. September comes every year :)
