  Whoa, you can't break the site guidelines like this - we ban accounts that do that. Would you mind reviewing them and sticking to the rules when posting to HN? We'd appreciate it. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Edit: it unfortunately looks like you've been doing this for a long time.
