To be fair, I'm an HN user who has been here 594 days and have never heard of you, and am sort of confused why largely anonymous users of a site like HN feel the need to post their own dramatic farewell posts. If you aren't feeling appreciated or something lately call up a real-life friend.
- ig1 16y agoIf you aren't feeling appreciated or something lately call up a real-life friend. That's exactly the kind of snide comment that's making HN a less pleasant place and pushing good contributors away.
- reader5000 15y agoSorry you interpreted it that way but it was legitimate advice. Real life relationships trump pseudo anonymous internet relationships.
- ghshephard 16y agoPerhaps this might help stir your understanding of who the major contributors to HN, as decided by its membership, are: http://news.ycombinator.com/leaders http://news.ycombinator.com/leaders
- Sandman 16y agoI'm a little bit surprised you've never heard of ROG, he has been an active contributor to HN both with articles and with comments. Anyway, take a look at the leader board, he's there. Number 13. http://news.ycombinator.com/leaders http://news.ycombinator.com/leaders
- mml 16y agoi've never heard of him either, and i've been around long enough to not know, or care how long i've been around on nyc. i personally find this sort of "farewell" ludicrously over-dramatic. to be sure, if i ever leave, i'll just leave, secure in the knowledge that nobody really gives a wit.
- techiferous 16y agoI think the main point of the blog post was not a self-centered I'm leaving but a commentary on the state of the community and quality of HN.
