I understand the downvotes since this is HN and you people don't like useless comments here. But I simply thought it was very funny. No need to be mean here.

For the record, the downvotes aren't to be mean. We just don't want this turning into a Reddit clone and/or fill the comments with run-of-the-mill comments you'd see on any PHPbb forum.

No, I wasn't one of the ones who downvoted you and no, I'm not trying to be mean. There used to be times I wondered why an innocent comment of mine was downvoted and thought I'd just let you know instead of leave you hanging.

Thanks for the reply. Perhaps I was unclear. I completely understand the downvotes - that's why they're on the site. But I thought the "wow, you must be the best hacker ever congrats" comment was unnecessary and mean-spirited.
