- dang 7y agoI wouldn't worry about a single comment. It's just that we're trying for a higher signal/noise ratio than is the default on internet forums, so I'd like to persuade you to be more thoughtful when you post. It's in your interest to do so, because preserving signal/noise is the one thing that can keep HN intellectually interesting for everyone in the community. By the way, it isn't that people here (including us!) have no sense of humor, it's that internet humor tends to grow like weeds, and everyone overestimates how funny their jokes are. scott_s expressed this well a long time ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7609289 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7609289.
