Ah, the snide counter to condescension, &etc.

  Let me add some nitpicking to complete the obnoxious HN trifecta. The proper ortographic representation of etc is &c. In fact, that's where the ampersand comes from (think ligature form of Et).

    I appreciated this, actually. It's funny how just being in a negative tree gets you downvoted by association--good thing it's just karma, eh?
    • mustpax 15y ago
      To be fair, it's less that we're in a negative tree and more that we're not adding value to the discussion.

        Yeah, but I didn't expect people to take it so _personally._ (Or maybe I do, but I unconsciously resent how serious we are and fight it by taking a few downvotes every so often.)
