My first thought when I saw your post pointing out the congratulations comments was one of the ending scenes from Neon Genesis Evangelion where they say congratulations repeatedly.

Regardless, this is very spammy marketing.

If you think someone is posting abusively, email the mods. You've seen the thing about not-posting shillage insinuations in the site guidelines.
I posted a straight fact with the links to prove it. You are making that connection from the information I gave you.

It's an accusation of abuse. Those go to hn@ycombinator.com, not in the threads where they are meta noise.

I posted true, verifiable information about this thread (that a lot of people voted up). I didn't accuse anyone of anything, people are smart, they can make up their own minds.
This isn't some complicated thing, there's a site guideline specifically about it and you should try to stick to it like everyone else because it trashes the forum. You can just mail this stuff in.
You can mail to mods too if you think something is wrong with parent comments?
