Apparently it wasn't obvious from the "New York smells" point that it was a joke. So let me spell it out: It was a joke (even if it's actually, technically true. Many parts of New York really do smell from all that trash on the street!).

people don't have a sense of humor. obviously my comments about chicagoans not knowing how to multiply was a joke, too. They multiply like bunnies.

  Ah, the Chicago-New York feud, older than Hatfield–McCoy.

  Let this be a lesson to you edw519: you make a joke, and both your heroes attack you! Biff! Bam! Actually, I can't imagine a funnier response.

Just came from San Francisco to NY. If you think it's bad here...walk around downtown SF sometime ;-)

Joel's comment: Is the problem that they're sitting there in a city without any other Internet industry, stewing in their own witty ideas, listening only to the adoring comments they get from the groupies? .. is a often genuine criticism of 37s here on HN. Probably part of the reason the joke was missed.
