I haven't started a single thread. People just beat me to everything, but that's OK with me. I share the links on another platform where people don't read HN. ;-) But I try to make comments that are helpful to others, based on my long experience, a lifetime of reading, and interesting hobbies. Sharing is caring, though I'll now and then go off on a rant about some vile behavior. You'd be surprised what registers with people. I got a lot of follow-ups when I commented on optics and photography. Nice. But I am not in it for the points. I don't even know what to do with them. Just to be in good company, find a wealth of information (I hit the "new" link ) and maybe contact some neat people.
