We don't usually let people change the subject to their own thing in someone else's launch thread. It's boorish.
We're a little less active about it in YC launch threads, though, because of the first principle of HN moderation: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu.... That's why I haven't said anything in the places this has happened in today's thread.
Fair enough. Though I don’t agree that discussing or mentioning a competitor is changing the subject, especially when that competitor addresses some of the issues originally mentioned.
