HN & Comments (I was wrong)

32 Days ago, I grumpily posted "Avoid HN if your thinking of launching here" [1] and I was wrong on both parts. Today I posted something and even with just 1 up vote, I had nice small number of visitors to an article I wrote. HN is still a place for validity. It is just noisier now.

The second part of my "Avoid HN" self post I was seeing a lot of negative, cynical comments and it got to me but I'm actually finding now, more and more that commenting being up voted and moderating has improved. An example being https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6661256 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6660895 Both good comments.

PS It doesn't help to be negative. It just poisons the atmosphere.
