Hacker News Reader

Saumil,

Your e-mail to me was generic. Nothing personal. Cookie cutter, boilerplate, etc.

I took it as SPAM and the last thing I am going to do is reply back to a SPAMMER and confirm that my e-mail is real.

Most all of my HN submissions are my thoughts and opinions. Nothing really technical. You say that you did read my submissions before contacting me.

Specifically tell me what about my submissions caused you to e-mail me?

As I've said in the rather giant tome above I've done 100+ of these so forgive me if it's not on the tip of my tongue. I went back and looked at your submissions and it must have been the fact that you have a lot of Ask_HNs, a couple about RoR but mostly about lots of interesting technology stuff. It's hard to gauge anything after multiple conversations, much less from a submission feed but I generally get along well w/ folks that ask a lot of questions, are very curious and ask for help freely into various communities.

In this case, I was rather wrong :) well hell, can't win 'em all.

But HN is not a "Stack Overflow" style community. So if you have done 100+ of these to HN users I dont think you get the point of this community.
