Sure, but you created your account 14 years ago and have lost of posts. The person to whom I'm replying created their account 0 minutes before posting the comment to which I am replying. Not really apples to apples.

I've never posted anything on hn before and saw this post and it reminded me of a blog I found interesting. So yes, I did make this account to post this comment
