- abrookewood 5y agoLet's not turn HN into Slashdot by posting inane comments eh?
- ineedasername 5y agoInane? It's a principle of set theory. I'd say that, in response to the other comments, it was fairly apropos for HN to make a set theory reference. At minimum considering how my comment is common knowledge it is trite rather than inane. So forget about slashdot, let's go old school Usenet flamewar on this, you defend "inane", I'll defend "apropos" & "trite". To be honest I'm not very good flamewars though so maybe you could get things started with a biting personal insult. Something about my genetic lineage or mother's breeding habits is, I think, fairly standard, but I'll a award bonus points for creativity.
