- dang 8y agoFrom an email we got, I don't think this assertion is true, and it breaks at least two HN guidelines to post like this: the one about assuming good faith, and the one about not insinuating astroturfing or shillage. Could you please refresh your memory of https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and follow them in the future? Even if you don't like an article, it's pretty mean to greet a new user with hostility. The cost of being wrong is much higher than the benefit of being right—hence "assume good faith".
