The usernames made me chuckle, my favorite is "DefaultSearchIsWikipedia". Also, you forgot at least one archetype: the enthusiastic rant from an oblivious hell-banned poster.

#122Is it possible to downvote people? Why can't I do that?
you need ~500 karma to downvote comments.

Re: Hacker News Parody Thread
#124I disagree with the author. This isn't exactly a parody thread. A parody is "an imitative work created to mock, comment on or trivialise an original work" [1]. For one thing, I would hardly call Hacker News comments "original work", and a simple creation like this hardly captures the full scope and breadth of comments on here. Furthermore, I'm not really sure why this belongs on HN, because it's not very technical, a…
How could you have used the Internet more than three times and not heard of Brad Conte?

I'm sorry, you seem to believe you can just throw around these opinions of yours without evidence. I demand you provide me with multiple peer reviewed scientific papers from journals of note to backup your so called claims. Frankly there's no point in even continuing this conversation until you do and we should just assume that I'm right and you're wrong.
Don't support the scientific paper racket. Instead have this link to a joel spolsky post from 2001 about why the web is dead. http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000296.html
Stop arguing the web is dead and just SHIP something. Your customers aren't paying you for blog posts.

My customers aren't paying me for anything, we don't have a business model yet.

I don't understand why you're making this so complicated. This problem can be easily solved using unix pipes. There's no need to complicate your technology stack with extraneous definitions of "parody".

#129The funniest thing about this parody (to me, at least) was that so many of the made up names were actual HN usernames...

So meta, I can't even tell which of the comments replying to you are in on the joke.
