I am not at all offended by this comment. You have a good comment history and you are one of the first on HN. Having said that, the reason I did this poll was not just to get the numbers but let fellow HN'ers reflect on how their HN experience has evolved over the time period they have been on HN. I should have perhaps clarified this better in the Poll description. Oh and I am a "wannabe" totally :). So you got that right. I don't mean this as a sarcastic comment and really my coding skills are at best being able to write a few scripts or edit HTML/CSS . I would totally label myself as a codegeek wannabe.
