Your colleague would be very grateful to you. If you don't know the value of grateful people, you're not much of a capitalist.

- TeMPOraL 8y ago> If you don't know the value of grateful people, you're not much of a capitalist. Rule of Acquisition no. 1 says: "Once you have their money, you never give it back". But if you did, the next best thing is suggested by Rule 111: "Treat people in your debt like family... exploit them".
- dancek 8y agoMaybe you just saw a nice opportunity to make a reference. But if you also downvoted me, maybe you missed both my pun (a capitalist should be able to assess the value of everything) and my point.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoOnly the former. I did not downvote you. Hence the penultimate rule in the HN guidelines - "Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading." You have no way of knowing who downvoted you, or why, unless they step forward.
