You're beating around the bull in this China shop.
(yeah yeah it's a Reddit -like comment but this whole thread should probably be downvoted)
Why can't we have a little fun on HN? Maybe we should have a flag for "humor" and let people opt in to seeing comments flagged as such.
I'd rather see HN focused on being a site for substantive, in-depth commentary rather than a slew of one line comments attempting to be witty (and failing), a la Reddit and Slashdot.
