I love how much I can't tell if you're serious.

      HN doesn't support programmatic content or I would have been happy to make it real time.

        This is strange, there was another, very very similar comment here from another user, which disappeared after about 10-15 minutes. Then 15 minutes later, this comment appears, with only a slight variation in wording. I am starting to doubt myself. Eerie.

          I removed it for a couple of reasons: I try to keep my posts substantive (though I have been known to slip) because I strongly value that aspect of HN. And in particular I don't like to feed conspiracy theories, even when it's clear they're in jest. 'jacquesm's post upthread overwhelmed my usual caution, which led to a moment of weakness that I tried to correct. Apologies if it may have (hopefully only temporarily) contributed even in its removal!

            > I try to keep my posts substantive because I strongly value that aspect of HN Thanks for trying. I've been noticing more reddit-like comments lately and it's tiring since it worsens the signal:noise ratio here.

              Same. For the record, I did not intend to trigger a sarcastawar. Was hoping for: I went profile --> domain --> whois, validated against redfin/zillow / county court records... --> traded to equifax for salary history or similar
