Something you "used to appreciate about hacker news"? What, like, last week when you first joined? Oh, yes, those were the good old days!
Actually 37 days ago right before you created your account... Seriously donnacha you're being kind of a prick here. Given that I feel like this post is an SEO trick and your specialization appears to be SEO...
Quite apart from the fact that my website makes it clear that my business is secure installations of WordPress and not SEO, it is a tad dumb of you not to have noticed that that there is zero SEO benefit to commenting on HN - the standard link above my comment is to my HN profile and that doesn't even list my website.
The only way to connect me with my business would be if you were so incredibly PARANOID about other commenters, so crazy to prove yourself right in an essentially meaningless forum, that you would go to the insane lengths of googling to find dirt on them ... and, failing to find dirt, make some shit up.
I said 9 days because bhousel said 9 days and, no, I didn't bother to fact-check that piece of information, I didn't rush to look at your profile, because what we are doing here is ... drum roll please ... HAVING SOME FUN!!!
Now, as it turns out, bhousel was wrong ... by ONE DAY. Your profile says that you created your account 10 days ago, not the 37 days you claim. Really. Feel free to go take a look.
So, wow, not only are you this completely paranoid freak who goes around googling your fellow HN commenters but, bizarrely, you're also too lazy to quickly double-check your own profile to make sure that you aren't about to make the provably false claim that you registered 37 days ago. I mean, why would you do that? What are you thinking?
And, no, I'm not being a prick here; you're the zero-karma ass whose very first comment to HN was to make a completely ridiculous complaint about the submitter - the submitter who has, you know, actually DONE something, not just sat in the audience whinging.
Armchair critics like you never amount to much, they certainly don't launch start-ups, so, please, save us your pearls of wisdom and feel free to go on back to sucking on your crack pipe.
