- sjwright 15y agoYou know you're on hacker news when a repetitious meme gets voted down to oblivion. Oh, wait... Edit: Phew, -2 and dropping. I was worried there for a second.

- JeremyBanks 15y agoYou know you're on Hacker News when meme threads die before they got obnoxiously long... as they should.
- kevinalexbrown 15y agoAdding positive comments doesn't usually add as much information. The story itself was a positive comment. Critical discussion is best done not by saying "hey, cool story" - that's what upvoting is for. There are some cases where a non-negative comment is great, like pointing other readers to an interesting piece of related information, but if all it does is confirm what the original submission said, it's less informative.
