            I'm surprised to see a comment like this from someone who has an account that was created over 1,700 days ago.

              Relevant quote: "It's bad behavior you want to keep out more than bad people. User behavior turns out to be surprisingly malleable. If people are expected to behave well, they tend to; and vice versa." http://www.paulgraham.com/hackernews.html http://www.paulgraham.com/hackernews.html
