Really? Is this what you understand from guidelines? What's your next post? "I found a very delicious and interesting recipe on web. It was delicious and I think it's worth sharing with hackers ♥." Get out of here.

Maybe the blame is this stupid, non-central ranking mechanism which makes idiots like you and OP motivated to dump such stuff here for points and down-vote any criticism that does make sense.



Such irrelevant posts are submitted to HN on a regular basis. Relatively few (glancing at the front page now, at least) ever get to the frontage or even get a single upvote. I guess your hypotthesis is that no legitimate "hacker" upvoted the OP and hey, that's a fun hypothesis to test out. The other possibility is that not everyone shares your same definition, and having to deal with those other opinions is the price you pay in participating in an online community with more than one user


From the guidelines:

> Be civil... When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names


Wow, the article posted didn't seem totally out of place here. Your post, on the other hand, doesn't remotely belong here. Are you even an old timer on this site? You certainly don't write like one.


I run a recipe site. Maybe I can get some free traffic. lol. It's karma whoring 101. But as I said, it was a good article!
