#12I don't want to pick on anyone (nothing personal maguay) but does this belong here? I mean this is supposed to be a high quality news site and not a place to post touchy feely comments. We frown upon too political comments/posts and try to avoid flame wars over silly things. So in that sense, this post is not supposed to be here.
Sorry ... I definitely wasn't meaning to junk up HN. I thought it went along with many recent posts in Ask HN where people thank others for advice or help they'd received from HN. At any rate, I highly respect the quality of HN, and will try to keep this in mind with future posts. Happy Holidays all the same!
Maybe you should've made a 250,000 polygon WebGL Santa that waves and wishes us all a merry Christmas, with a Customize button that allows you to add a custom greeting, which is converted to audio via some speech synth engine, for $0.99, and submitted it as your startup. Also available for iPhone and Android. Coming soon for Blackberry. You're going to disrupt the holiday market. You'll be able to make a $46,000,000 exit by Easter, but if you hang on and make a 3D rabbit app, you can reach even greater heights.
I'm going nowhere with this post. :P

I knew I would get down voted for this comment (all hail HN's hypocrisy) but I just had to say this. As I stated above, nothing personal. And this does not go with the thank you notes. They are usually appended by a little brief of what people helped them with and which advice they did pick (or not pick). There are also (sometimes) analysis of what happened next.
Repeating what you said above, and contributing "I knew I would get downvoted for this" don't really belong on HN either. In fact they're probably worse. Heh.

Look at the second line, I explained why his comment is not in line with the thank you notes
Edit: Also personal comments also do not belong to HN

I think people would really buy something along that line. I mean if they can buy a application to make fart noises[1], they why not this?

It depends on whether you think Hacker News is a community or not.

Lighten up - it's Christmas :)
Re: Merry Christmas HN
#18I thought the politically correct greeting was "Happy Holidays!". I guess the jury is still out on that one. http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/faith/50892288-142/christmas-pe...

Yeah but if it doesn't use Node.js and Clojure and NoSQL it will fail.
