I Got Flagged on Hacker News Because I Followed an Advise from Joseph Sugarman

Yesterday I shared a link to one of my blog post about what building a successful company has in common with letting your hair grow for 18 months. I got flagged. (I think) The reason is that in the story I mentioned a girl/accountant I met at the airport of LAX, with whom I scheduled a business meeting. Then I asked the readers to signup to know what happened at that meeting (SPOILER: nothing). I did it because I followed one advise by Joseph Sugarman (famous American copywriter), that I learned reading his renowned book "Adweek copywriting handbook". He uses the same writing technique (with a similar example) in that book, to arise readers' attention. In any case I understand the reason why I got "Flagged", and I wanted to say sorry. I still think it's a great post though, so I've re-written it removing the misleading part. The title is the same: "The Business Lessons I Learned from Not Cutting My Hair for 18 Months". Peace
