Hehe, I'll be the first person to agree that it would be better if HN had a few more "Go you!"s and a few less "This sucks!" - seems people are more likely to leave a comment in the second case but not on the first.

Then again, call me crazy, but I rather like the acerbic and terse nature of hackerdom. Phatic communication is jettisoned in favor of information density.. not something I'd want to live in as a society, but nice in this one slice of life. I can definitely see how that would bother some people and begin to eat at others, though.

Cheers, and thanks for being awesome :)
