  Off topic, but possibly useful information for the OP. Your use of "haha"s are quite off-putting for me, I think because to me they imply you are not taking what you just wrote seriously. Do they bother anyone else, or am I just out of touch with da yoof?

    Hmm, I do use it quite often - haven't had anyone call me out on it before though. Will note, thanks

    I'll stick my own off-topic comment under yours. I agree. All the emoticons and LOL's and extremely liberal use of the exclamation mark just rubs me the wrong way. We're probably picking nits. I'm sure Mr. Lee doesn't intend that impression at all, and is probably overcompensating to make sure his tone isn't misread as hostile or argumentative. I've noticed myself doing this at times, seeing how often other commenters infer a different tone than what was intended.

    That kind of language works for most of the internet. It doesnt work on HN, which tends to take itself more seriously (for better or worse)
