your other account has a karma of 25k. claiming you don't understand hn seems a little disingenuous.

  It is not disingenuous. I am a woman and, no, I simply don't have the kind of social connections here that the guys typically have if they have that kind of karma. Which means, no, I don't understand subtleties here that prevent me from accomplishing things I want to accomplish. This kind of dismissiveness is actually par for the course. I read the rules for Show HN and it says it needs to be something "you can play with." I see blog posts with some smidgeon of data. I write the mods in good faith and say "This doesn't look to me like a Show HN." I get told that, arguably, the spoonful of data in it qualifies it. I blogged about that on an old blog. I am not going to post it here because that would be drama. I am just looking for a good faith answer to my good faith question and feeling increasingly like the crime of being the first woman on the leaderboard shall never be forgiven. Because it does not appear to have done squat to help me figure out how to get my work taken seriously or my questions answered in good faith.
