Thanks for your feedback. It appears that mentioning a HN darling guarantees that my post gets flagged and will never hit the home page (as of now, 9 points in 30 minutes, and it's below a post with 5 points in 3 hours - how much flagging does that imply?)

Agree on the ethics part. I am not sure anyone would be brave enough to come out and criticize a company they have invested in....
