Apparently, you just created an account to challenge this comment.

Do you not understand the FDA approval process? Or do you not understand how to Google that question yourself? Or is it something else?

Seriously. What possessed you to create an account to challenge this comment without doing any research at all, yourself?

I recently created an account...sorry? damn

>Do you not understand the FDA approval process?

There are industrial-grade chemicals fully FDA approved for ingestion by the US populace which are outright banned by various European countries.

Which of my questions do you think you answered?

[daddylongstroke]

Wasn't trying to answer your question...just pointing out that FDA approval means fuck-all. Seems you've put quite a bit of value to it either way. Good luck on your path.

That's a real high quality contribution there.

It's the kind of thing that's made HN so... different... over the last year (or four)

You think so? I thought it was the youthful boot-lickers and random "software developers" constantly marketing their "web apps". Also, feel free to express your emotions, I feel that you may be hiding your true feelings with that word - "different". It seems you don't feel the same, but I'm not concerned about quality of "contributions" on a random message board on the internet...I'm just having a random conversation with random strange strangers. It seems you've held the HN board at as high of a pedestal as the FDA approval process (but perhaps I'm projecting).

Not sure what your argument is though? You don't like the term fuck-all (sorry, English is not my native tongue), or you don't understand that the FDA process is ementhal-cheese-like by comparison to European standards?

His comment contained information (namely that the FDA process is not particularly strict compared to European standards) whereas your comment had zero information. On an objective level, he had a higher quality contribution.

Go easy on the arrogance over substance.
