...unless you fix it, as described. Then it's not a flaw at all.
The rules here say to read each post with the most positive interpretation. Snark is never welcome, and that could have been said differently e.g. "A great idea! Be sure to use food-grade resin!"
Me too! I find myself deleting posts as often as I write them. In that case I go back and read some of what you have written, to remind me how to be calm and considerate.
Me? Calm and considerate? Do you even read my comments?!
Seriously though, thanks. While I strive to be what you just said, I also delete roughly half of my comments before even submitting them (and every now and then, few minutes after), and I'm not really happy about the rest. I'm pretty grumpy these days, I'm starting to hate the technology business more with every passing moment. Is this too much HN, or just youthful naivete expiring?
(Few years ago I learned that I won the third place in a ranking of HN's top posters of profanities - according to some dataset someone is keeping on Kaggle. This dubious honour made me tone down my language quite a bit.)
In the spirit of keeping the positivity train rolling, you're the third person (after my wife and daughter) to make me smile today, so consider yourself the 3rd place winner of this impromptu contest!
