"Given that the size of batches have gone up, I do believe that number of sentences exchanged with PG/partners per startup must have gone down."

I didn't read this whole comment, but that part at least is false, because we've hired new partners at a higher rate than batches have grown. We now have 5 people doing for 50-startup batches what I used to do alone for 20-startup batches.

A reasonable heuristic. In which case, what was the ratio of sentences read to ignored in this particular instance?

Looks like hn_id of monsterix has been banned. Didn't expect this from site admins because what he said above was within quality of discussions normally seen here, and his questions are genuine.

It's kind of sad that admins are unable to take criticism or face real questions and are overreacting to it.

There was a log-in code change on HN today that made a lot of people think they were site-banned,

but in fact they were not. The comments of the user you mention do not appear dead to me (I have showdead turned on).

I am pretty much back in. Yes, there was some problem last night and some of the lines I edited/wrote got lost when I hit submit. Couldn't login for a long time thereafter, and unfortunately misunderstood the situation.

What makes you think he's banned? Doesn't look that way to me.

[crimsonzagar]

We work off the same place and that's what he said to me. Will cross check again.

I'm unable to log in right now via Firefox but Chrome works fine. Could be related.

As freyr said, logins are messed up right now.

> I didn't read this whole comment ...

It is unbelievable to me that PG did not read the whole comment. Nevertheless, this is not a good sign for tech start-ups.

This assumes the other 4 are PG quality. Not saying they're not, of course.
