#12Next week: What happens when your follow-up to being #1 on Hacker News ends up being #1 on Hacker News.
Also featuring a snarky comment, but now about how the top comment isn't snarky. This is so meta.

#13Clever f*er! Looking forward to round two of the statistics and how they compare with the one in this article.

#14Really interesting read on how much interaction HN brings. There is a lot to be said for quality over quantity when it comes to page views. I believe you are wrong about dismissing that top comment in the other post as snarky, negative and useless. That comment has a lot of very useful information from someone who appears to have been doing the Thailand thing longer than you have. 1) Thai law was brought up a number…
Maybe some exuberant HN stories need a counterpoint and that's the purpose served by those negative #1 comments. The top comment probably isn't as important as it appears. When I read comments I usually read more than one.

The collapsing comments feature, of the chrome extension I use, has also helped me actually read through comments without getting side-tracked with endless pedantic debates. You can find a lot of good perspectives below the first thread.

#17I enjoyed reading the report back. The author laid it out clearly and informatively. However the dismissal of the top HN comment, appears unfounded. [1] It reads like a case of minimizing dissonance. In other words, it seems the author is attempting to rationalize away another person's viewpoint, by simply characterizing it as snark. Some more probable explanations why the comment made it to #1, could have been: - It…
Agreed. "I had a different experience" isn't snark, it's a counterpoint.
