I still remember http://www.paulgraham.com/nerds.html http://www.paulgraham.com/nerds.html but it's not true anymore is it? It looks like the nerds are now spending much more time on trying to be popular than anything else nowadays. You got a post with lots of karma because it was HONEST. You didn't make a post whose primary purpose was to get you karma points, you made a post to help educate people about your experience and maybe help other people save some money. Can you say the same about this post? Why did you choose the title headline that you did? Where did the honesty go? I hope the next time you make a post what you care about is creating an interesting discussion or providing some interesting information, not how many karma points you are going to get out of it.
