Your comment and descendants are the only ones of value on this submission, along with one other comment from Stormbringer. Mine was a desperate attempt to provide some kind of substance before the comments descended into the jokes and one-liners that now fill the page. (I'm surprised hunter2 hasn't been mentioned yet). The MSPaint submission was clearly a bit of fun. Password security isn't. I felt in this case that the comments that were being made sent the wrong message about what HN strives for, but I know it's dangerous to criticise comments or submissions on HN, that's supremely frowned upon, so I apologise for sullying the thread with such criticism. edit: I mean, read the comment thread from top to bottom - isn't that exactly the kind of elitist snorting that the "My fellow geeks, we need a talk" submission was trying to address?
