Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read the whole thing. Secondly, thank you for not getting offended. Thirdly, thank you for being an awesome-enough human being for making this comment. You deserve everything good that life has to offer and I wish you get it all! Thank you for pointing out the title. While I am guilty of sensationalizing the title, I have not referred to HN users specifically - neither in the title, nor in the post. Nowhere have I made the correlation between the two, nor do I intend to. I still believe the title fits the post and does not slander HN users specifically but please correct me if I am wrong. I would like to stand by all my points in the post. I just seem to have expressed some of them a little inadequately. But you are right. I should have done better in the first place, no excuses. There's just one part I will definitely be changing, and that's the part where I talk about the punchcards. Somehow, I seem to have missed the extra 'since' at the beginning of the line and it has changed the entire paragragh to something horrible. I am ashamed and I apologize to you personally for this mistake. I'll be writing an errata/update based on some of the comments I have received in this discussion thread.
