I don't disbelieve you, but the way you phrased your original post gave me pause. You wrote 5-6 sentences comparing the different submissions, making special mention that yours didn't gain much traction, then you added a perfunctory-seeming Sendak tribute in the last sentence.
- ColinWright 14y agoThanks for the clarification. Perhaps I should have said "This was submitted ..." rather than "I submitted ..." but that just sounds ingenuous, especially if someone then follows the link and sees it was me. And to some extent it wasn't just the lack of traction. My interests don't exactly align with the majority here, so many of my submissions don't get traction. That I really don't care about. It was the flags, coupled with the obvious "success" of this item that makes me think the voting, karma, and ranking system(s) on HN is/are broken. In this case I mostly noticed because it was my submission and I was paying attention. How much else is there that I care about but never get to see because of these things.
