I'm on my second year subscription, even if the owner's a total cunt who actually responds to justifiable emails.

Owner sounds a bit full of themselves for sure. Any horror stories?

  Nope. It's a few bucks a year silly image hosting account. I mean, I'm a grumpy, cheap fucker, but even I would struggle to find fault. - ed in fact, to clarify - I have twice written to Stavros, and both times he's been upmost helpful. Proving what a liar he is and how he fails to live up to his marketing.

  Owner has humor and talks to his customers like they're adults (adults with a sense of humor)

  >Any horror stories? One time I made a joke on HN that feel flat, and he posted a sarcastic comment! He also bought an oscilloscope from me and made sure I marked the package correctly so it didn't get caught up in (corrupt) Greek customs, causing a tiny amount of extra work at my end! True sociopathic behaviour!

    Holy shit I LOVE the Labrador, it's the most useful thing I have. Guys, if you're into electronics at all, buy one right now (https://github.com/EspoTek/Labrador/ https://github.com/EspoTek/Labrador/), it's amazing and only $30. Also I'd say I'm sorry about the comment but that would imply I've changed but I'm still a sarcastic asshole. I'm working on it though.

        I purchased one based on this exchange alone. I'm an impressionable sod!

        You and two others, apparently. I'll save that stat for next time my wife says I "waste my time" on HN!

        I think AussieWog just made more of this post than stavros did.

        Same. You can say I'm easily influenced, I don't care :-)
