One thing I've learned from my brief time on HN is that HNers don't like humor. I couldn't read your original comment, but I voted this up because this was a funny response.
On the contrary, I love a good joke! I think the problem is sometimes its difficult to differentiate sarcasm, trolling, and idiocy without knowing the person or vocal cues.
The OP wrote the comment on a new account with absolutely no history to guide me. What should be my default take?
