You've been posting a lot of unsubstantive comments to HN. Would you please (re-)read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stop doing that? We're hoping for a higher quality of discussion here. In vain, perhaps; but still hoping.

i'll grant that i can exude a somewhat negative outlook. but seriously, are you even remotely surprised about a comment like this related to uber?

If we're being honest uber represents pretty much everything negative comeing out of SV at this point....

Frankly I expect more from the valley (and from YC) in general..#justsayin...

I wasn't replying about Uber but to your entire comment history, which falls short of what we're hoping to see here. Also, the issue isn't primarily about being negative, it's about lowering the signal/noise ratio of the forum. We all have to be careful not to do that, because if we lower it a little bit enough times in a row, the whole thing will one day fall off a cliff. The basic idea of HN is stave that day off for as long as possible. In my experience, most people who get that idea are willing to help. We'd appreciate it if you'd help too.
