I don't think those kinds of comments are warranted here. I don't see any increase in the number of green usernames in this thread compared to any other post. What kind of evidence do you have to support these claims?

These threads have similar numbers of comments to this one.

21971545 (Next one down with a lot of comments, 2.5x this one):

Plus, there is a thread on reddit directing: https://np.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/el5qqf/bitcoin_core_hav... But hey, maybe I'm paranoid.

Seems this thread is bizarro land. I guess you're going to just ignore the abusive conspiracy theory in the post that I was responding to and instead wag your finger at me for turning it around with a pretty obvious observation?

I browse both sites daily and see links between the two quite often. What is strange about one site linking to another?

Also I don't know if it's HN formatting but the commands you posted don't work. I think you're trying to point out there are N number of new users in this thread?

[nullc]

It's saying at the time I commented there were 35 posts in this thread with green names (36 now), while there were 0, 1, 1, and 1 in the other threads respectively.

If you want to go by the ratio of unique green names instead of posts this thread has 13 times more than those threads that had any at all.

[ddtaylor]

There does seem to be a lot of variance in that though. The top post on HN right now is from a green user name. Also the number of comments in the two threads is vastly different.

So what. Most of us take the same username here so you know exactly who we all are.

Do I have to verify with 1Niak6WPi1NDYquYGBc6TYVerheyEGeXM7 or is my very fimilair style good enough for you?

Attacking my account age is so off-point. Greg's specialty is using true facts to try to claim or imply false information. I am new to this forum. He knows I am not as new to standing up to his form of dishonest distractions used to derail conversations he knows are bad for his house-of-cards.
