Thanks! I got frustrated after even a newly created throwaway was immediately unable to post anymore on fiber and posted one more comment (that I had already typed) over 3g. Right now I'm too busy to comment more, but thanks for flagging me as legit.

While on the subject, I might also mention that the guidelines ask me to mail info@ycombinator.com for questions instead of posting here. I would, it's just that:

> Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

> info@ycombinator.com

> Technical details of permanent failure: Message rejected by Google Groups. Please visit http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=18... to review our Bulk Email Senders Guidelines.

For the record, I never sent bulk e-mail to any address or service. It's really a hard reject and not just a push to the spambox. Google doesn't seem to care about individuals hosting their mail at home (usually I end up in spam, something Gmail users never seem to look in).

Not being able to comment normally and then not being allowed to email you because of a third party (which is too monstrously large to complain to) is quite annoying.

Weird. I've not seen that before. I'll pass it to kogir.

But the guidelines have been changed for a while to say hn@ycombinator.com. Can you try emailing us there?
