Sorry to be that guy but, why are you posting comments that lead to topic derailing that add nothing to the discussion?

  Agree. I’d like to thank conjectures, brodouevencode, Bjartr, kungtotte, m0xte, fidelramos, chii and pokot0 for their contributions, but gently suggest none of the jokes were really that funny. Said well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7609289 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7609289

    Since we have a norm that those who post unfunny jokes shouldn't complain they are downvoted, we should also have a norm that those who don't like jokes should just downvote without comment. Of course, I'm violating the obvious meta-norm...

      We actually have the opposite norm. HN commenters are encouraged to post feedback in the threads about what's good and bad for HN comments. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7605973 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7605973

        That's fine, and there are probably some would-be HN comedians who haven't heard the news about this yet, but meta-discussion is really boring. This is the last thing I'll post in this thread, and I won't be surprised if it gets downvoted to oblivion.
