Yeah, I know I could probably send an email, but I have chosen not to do that.

As for reasoning, it was just a personal experiment to see how much karma influenced my decision to post. Apparently it was a lot because this is the first time I jumped the hurdle of creating an account to comment in 93 days, even though there were times I felt the urge to comment.

I also discovered that I get more out of HN because I'm no longer formulating possible comments when I read articles or other user comments.

It was a useful lesson, and I'm undecided whether I want to go back.



To be fair, it's not clear that that's because of Karma - could be because of convenience... but anyway, fair point! Enjoy :-)
