alt Hacker NewsCommenting more than I should, to be honest.
I have a few periods during my daily routine where I’m waiting somewhere away from the computer and need a break from email.
A lot of my comments have double digit upvotes and some get into the mid hundreds. I try to actually read articles and provide thoughtful comments, which gets upvoted a lot more than the throwaway.

52000 / 3 years would be under 1500 points per month or 48 points per day. That could be done with 1-2 helpful comments per day on popular threads.

Serious, non-acusatory question. Your writing looks human. Do you use any writing assistants?
Where else, other than HN, do you post?
I browse HN a bit more than I should and I see you and simonw around a lot, like you said always providing thoughtful commentary.
When I write comments on here I tend to spend upwards of 15 minutes to draft and reformulate my comments. Sometimes double-checking what I'm about to say (sometimes not thoroughly enough as some of my recent comments show) and I was wondering if you have a similar experience in that regard or do you just manage to fire off a comment in a stream of thought fashion from start to end?
