Sorry ... I definitely wasn't meaning to junk up HN. I thought it went along with many recent posts in Ask HN where people thank others for advice or help they'd received from HN. At any rate, I highly respect the quality of HN, and will try to keep this in mind with future posts. Happy Holidays all the same!

I knew I would get down voted for this comment (all hail HN's hypocrisy) but I just had to say this. As I stated above, nothing personal. And this does not go with the thank you notes. They are usually appended by a little brief of what people helped them with and which advice they did pick (or not pick). There are also (sometimes) analysis of what happened next.

  I understand ... no problem. Though I did get a laugh about jsm386 saying it was the annual Airing of Grievances :)

  Repeating what you said above, and contributing "I knew I would get downvoted for this" don't really belong on HN either. In fact they're probably worse. Heh.

    Look at the second line, I explained why his comment is not in line with the thank you notes Edit: Also personal comments also do not belong to HN

Maybe you should've made a 250,000 polygon WebGL Santa that waves and wishes us all a merry Christmas, with a Customize button that allows you to add a custom greeting, which is converted to audio via some speech synth engine, for $0.99, and submitted it as your startup. Also available for iPhone and Android. Coming soon for Blackberry. You're going to disrupt the holiday market. You'll be able to make a $46,000,000 exit by Easter, but if you hang on and make a 3D rabbit app, you can reach even greater heights. I'm going nowhere with this post. :P

  I think people would really buy something along that line. I mean if they can buy a application to make fart noises[1], they why not this? [1]http://ifartmobile.com/ http://ifartmobile.com/

    You can have that one free. Go find yourself a contractor on Elance for a couple hundred dollars, and in a few days, you too can be on the road to infinite wealth.

  Yeah but if it doesn't use Node.js and Clojure and NoSQL it will fail.
