Wow sorry I can't laugh at something jeez. So, you have never in your life just felt like re-posting a quote off something and just added a little something to it to show the spirit in which it was meant to be. Now you are just being nitpicky and to be honest rude in a sense. I have just joined this community I am trying to fit in and you just come along and see the comment and you "don't like it" because it's short, sweet and too the point. I am laughing at the comment of the programmer of rust for the quote he put on his site and now you have just totally bashed me because you felt it necessary to not like my simplistic comment. Wow.

> you have never in your life just felt like re-posting a quote off something ...

I do, but I do that on Twitter, because, as you've found out, HN will downvote you into oblivion.

Ah ha! Sorry, I didn't see that: usually, new users are in green. (also, your account is 163 days old?) If you haven't checked it out, you should check out the community guidelines: http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

For what it's worth, I am not trying to 'bash [you]'... but I don't think this was a great comment. Try to keep them more substantial here. Different forums are appropriate for different kinds of discourse, and short little comments are generally not taken very well here.

The same happens to "+1", "thanks", and "interesting!" comments. If you can't write more than two sentences, you probably shouldn't post.
