Not feeling down. "Even worse" is a sort of trope I use in such comments (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=2&prefix=false&qu...) because I have the feeling that it reduces friction a little bit. I think you're the first user who's ever commented on it!


> I think you're the first user who's ever commented on it!

Yeah, well, I'm kind of oblivious sometimes :)

But I don't regret taking the time to thank y'all for the work you do, regardless. Rock on.


I would say the opposite of oblivious in this case. You caught the hypnotic suggestion :)


>I think you're the first user who's ever commented on it!

given your authority and status on this site, I wouldn't count on getting honest replies from users.

In other words : just because it isn't said doesn't mean it isn't thought. Few people want to be honest and defend their opinion in the face of an 'admin', anywhere. It's potentially self-defeating compared to just staying quiet.
