>I can see a comment like this (if upvoted) easily starting one of those "pun trains" commonly seen on reddit. It actually did, there's a copycat at the bottom of the page. Which I downvoted. I actually felt bad about that aspect. A joke told twice or more is spam IMO. And while good natured spam is fine on Reddit as you say, on HN it dilutes the signal to noise ratio.
