What a strange reply. Your 1) Please read again, this does not fit to anything I wrote. Especially the main point, that inconvenient "anybody" vs. "everybody" thing that you comple…

You are grasping for straws in a truly disgusting but not even entertaining way.

A concrete location is something very specific, and the number of newspapers per town is very small.

The term "Facebook" is not nearly as generic as "hackernews".

> This name confusion seems intentional Do you have proof, or do you just happen to feel this way without actually knowing any background story? If you make such an accusation you …

There is an incredible number of norms you and most everybody else adheres to every single day. Some of them even obviously ridiculous and without any objective basis, like "don't …

So, and now go back and read what I wrote until you understand it. There is no point to this whole thing (apart from creating clicks for the attention industry). It has no impact (…
