I bet _most_ of their users aren't reading HN regularly and probably just skimmed past the email (I did). HN provided a nice little teapot for this tempest to play out in, from a larger strategic picture. As mad as it probably made them when that first user put the comment up the other day, that may have just saved their business from complete annihilation. If I were Ammon, I would find that person and send them some kind of nice gift.
- dccoolgai 6y agoPerhaps more distressing to me, I got these emails but I _know_ I never actually signed up to the site: I just took the little quiz. I _know_ I didn't sign up because I recall being irritated that I had to sign up to see the results of the quiz - and I was afraid of something happening _just like this_. I was watching this because I was fairly certain - based on whatever they published about me - that I was going to take some kind of legal action. So in a way, this person saved them from _me_.
