in case your comments get flagged and removed, i just want you to know someone appreciated your humor. Technically speaking though, humor is not allowed on hacker news, it's litterally in the TOS....and I only know that from many flags of my own.

We are not amused! Not but that part of the TOS, which I wasn't aware of. I don't see where it says so, though, except maybe the part of the guidelines that say to "Avoid generic tangents".

I do see how it helps keep the contents focused and useful, though. So... Ok, I guess? I'll just have to express my sense of humour as part of something useful, not as the only thing. Thanks for pointing this out.
