Why negative points. Can I not say I'm happy he or she made this project. It's not for the internet. It's for the content poster only I wrote that I liked it. At that time I was the only poster. I didn't write first! I wrote awesome. Because I liked it. Don't assume that everything is for you the reader to read and not the poster to read

I use a pen tablet daily for many years it's very very close to my heart and my work. Don't just assume sarcasm where it is none. Not everyone shares the same culture. Also why should I write a long swan song when a simple awesome is accurate and conveys everything I wanted to say

Comments should add something worthwhile to the discussion. Redundant comments ("noise") tend to be downvoted. (I didn't downvote you!)

If you meant for the comment to be read by the content poster, then something more meaningful than a single-word response would have been more appropriate.

These are the rules and practices which have kept HN lean and functional over nearly two decades.
