Or perhaps waterlion should have just not made the joke. It does not relate to the article in any fashion I can find relevant nor does it add anything to the existing discussion.

[waterlion]

I think it adds to the broader discussion that goes on on HN, specifically over the last month or so.

Could you remove that joke about the dog from your profile page please? I went there looking for serious information.

[epochwolf]

If you could tell me what you're looking for instead of what you're not looking for, I'd be happy to provide it.

[waterlion]

I'm looking for interesting discussion with intelligent people on a range of subjects guided by user-submitted stories. I'm looking for explorations of ideas, learning new things, synthesis as well as derivative ideas. Open-mindedness and acceptance. Otherwise there's no point.

I'm not looking for pedantry and closed-mindedness (I'm not accusing you of those things).

I'm probably in the wrong place for that on HN, but the articles are interesting and often so is the discussion.

[epochwolf]

That's an odd thing to look for on my profile page.

[waterlion]

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that I would want others to extend to me and not accuse you of pedantry. But I don't think there's much steam left in this conversation.
