Wow, I could never write this well in a million years, but as I was reading, I couldn't help but feel that this was a blog post that I've been wanting to write for a while.

Without going on a rant and hi-jacking this thread, replacing "Participation Rank" with "consumption of beer/alcohol", "gathering" with "late night beer party", "Dad had a seizure" with "Mom was very sick", "kayak" with "badminton", "profile" with "LinkedIn", and you have 100% of my story give and take a few breaks in flow and sentence structure errors that are bound to happen with simple string replacement.

Guess it's time to finally go write that blog post.

Please do and report back if you have a chance, it sounds like it will be a good one and I'd love to read it.

Hmm, since the demand is > 0 now, I guess I will! Not too sure how to get reply notifications on HN though, I always lose track of responses.

Just in case you see this: consider http://hnnotify.com/ keeps you connected to all your friends on HN. You don't want us to miss you, do you?

(It really is quite useful, though.)

I'd read it too.
