Apologies, still finding my footing here at HN. I have a lot "reddit reflexes" for lack of a better word, and this was probably a product of that.

- smarm52 2y agoI have this method of checking for information sources to trust. I check for their reputation, and find evidence that they can be trusted. I should probably take my own advice ... but I have to figure how to do it first. 1st day. Thanks for the tip.

- gnicholas 2y agoI've been active here for over a decade. If I did that so I could start shilling for brands in my 40s, that'd be a hell of a long con. Also, I pointed out that it's useful to check users' histories. A few seconds with my comment history would reveal that I'm more of a grump than a shill.
