I honestly have no idea. I don't do anything to promote Svbtle articles on HN.

I don't think this post is worthy of Hacker News, so I haven't voted for it.

Please, you don't have to apologize:

The quote is great and relevant right now, with the last acomplishment of Elon Musk and his crew that is extraordinarily remarkable.

And I think that the determination line of thought is very appreciated here in HN and consistent with your own work.

Thanks for sharing.

I have noticed a lot of your stuff on HN, but it don't bother me as I do enjoy reading it. Thanks.

Bah. Hacker News is not some sacred vault. It is a news aggregator for gods sake. And I am glad to have seen this short, sweet blog post. So I voted for it, in the hopes that others see it and enjoy it too :)

(Eek, sorry to call your post lame-o. No offense intended! It's just.. well, you know what I mean. It's a quote from another page and link. But, yes, I see your point.

Again, no diss intended! Sorry!)

Dude, you gotta show some backbone - you started to apologize as soon as Dustin replied on your comment. If you think the post is lame, say it out loud, nothing embarrassing if you have your own opinion, and as far as I see, you didn't insult anyone.

It is lame-o, and you can say that to his face. It's this comment[1] and other distilled thoughts from the thread, essentially, in blog post form and resubmitted to HN. "Accomplished" just became "determined". PageRank at work, here, folks.

What does PageRank have to do with HN articles?

Also, people write whatever the hell they want on their own site. That's the point. They can't stop people from submitting links here, wanted or not.

In theory, if enough people don't like it, it'll be flagged off.

It's not even a blog post. It's just a quotation I wanted to share.
