Hey tomgirl1, welcome to Hacker News. Good to have you here.

It might be a good idea to read up on the guidelines [1] a bit though, since it seems your comments, while generally with good intent, often don't contribute much to the discussion at hand, like the comment I'm replying to here.

Another good way to get a feel for what is appreciated and what not is to check a bit of pg's comments [2]. You'll quickly get a feel of what's considered proper discourse and what isn't.

Good luck and enjoy your stay here!

I think you've been hell-banned as all your latest comments are dead.
