"On your home page you imply that you can automatically OCR arbitrary handwritten receipts into an analyzable format. No one can do that. That is your problem"

Jeez, lay off the confrontational tone. He doesn't say anything about OCR. Maybe he's using humans to do data entry? In any event, it's completely irrelevant to the topic of databases.

I notice you ignored all of my several very specific points directly related to his issues with the database system and your only comment was a criticism about the tone you perceived.

OK, maybe he is using humans to do data entry. The home page to me implies that the process is automatic, but I guess it doesn't rule out the possibility of humans doing data entry when he says 'tag and categorize'. But if he is using humans to do data entry instead of some automatic OCR, that is still his main business problem, rather than MongoDB. The application is relevant to the database discussion, and Hacker News is about all aspects of startups.

It's because I have nothing to say about the database stuff. Why are you so adversarial? I'm not here to cross swords with you; I don't have an opinion on the matter.

But I did notice your rudeness, and you're now being rude to me. Totally uncalled for.

I was not rude to the poster. I corrected him as far as his misguided complaints about MongoDB and the main problem for his business. That is the only way to help him.

I was definitely not rude to you either. You suggested that my comment was irrelevant, and I pointed out that my comment had a lot of relevant content in it whereas by your own definition of relevance your comment had none.
