The MathsJam event in November is £165 (pounds sterling) with a 10% discount for early-bird (before August 15) and 10% discount for the unwaged. That covers lunch on Saturday and Sunday, dinner, accommodation, breakfast, tea, coffee, biscuits, squash, and all sessions. Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone is interested. November 12 and 13. http://www.mathsjam.com Numbers are limited, we have 50 rooms (of 100) a…

You're wrong.

Your event sounds like a great event and is likely to be interesting to HN readers. That's fantastic! Make a post and have it voted up. The issue I see is that your comment is completely unrelated to the post except for the fact that they both happen to be conferences. There is no comparison to the posted conference, likely, because it would be a difficult comparison. The two events have different topics, currency, culture, and locale. Your post is clearly intended solely to generate interest in your event.

I don't have the ability to downvote but, I would likely have done so with the opportunity. This story is sliding off the front page so, no need to delete it now.

I believe a link to a related event would be borderline appropriate here. Your comment is an annoying, longfrom ad for a conference: 1) in a difference place 2) on a different topic If you delete this spam and make a new submission on this topic, there'd be no reason for me or other HNers to object.

Your comment came too late for me to delete this, but I have now submitted a new item, along with a commentary as to why I made my comment here.
