#382Off-topic, but if anyone is interested in educating a non native speaker: why is the word "my" used here? Wouldn't this mean that Scott founded the author? Which doesn't make sense. Or does it mean that the author and Scott are both co-founders?
Thanks for any input.

#383Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thanks! Only three more votes before I get superpowers. :)
I upvoted you. With great power comes yadda yadda yadda. Edited to add: PSYCH!! Now it's going to take 4 upvotes to get super powers. BWAHAHAHA!! Edited to add #2: Just kidding! You're 2 upvotes away again! P.S. Dear friends, I'm sorry. I won't abuse my vast and terrible ability to grant or deny imaginary Internet points ever again. -xf

new user so pardon my ignorance but I dont have a downvote button. Do I need to enable it somewhere?
You need a certain amount of karma to downvote. I think it's 500, but I'm not sure because I don't have that much yet. :) Edit: it's confirmed at 501: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12074198

#387I bet whoever has the top comment on this one is going to see their karma go up and down as everyone tests out the unvote and undown feature. :)
Tested upvote, worked. Tested undo upvote, worked. Tested downvote, worked. My testing is complete.

#390> Scott is my cofounder from Skysheet Off-topic, but if anyone is interested in educating a non native speaker: why is the word "my" used here? Wouldn't this mean that Scott founded the author?

It's like saying "my dog" or "my house". The use of my doesn't change just because the noun changes.
