- egor83 15y agoIt's not allergic; jokes are just off-topic here. I like good jokes, but when I want some, I go to bash.org or the like ('Humour' folder in my GReader has more feeds than 'Technology'); but HN is not for jokes, it's for good discussion, so let's keep it like this.

- djcapelis 15y agoI find HN's comment quality relaxes on the weekends too.
- georgieporgie 15y agoI find that HN's post quality relaxes on the weekends, too. ;-) There seem to be a lot more reposts and borderline-spammy self-promotion or poorly disguised press releases.
