Joined HackerNews today. Thanks for sharing this!

Hello! As a friendly warning, you shouldn't post "thanks!" type posts on HN. They'll get d/ved to oblivion.

I've been on hackernews almost from the beginning and I didn't know this rule. Maybe once in a while, it's good to share basic rules :-)

It's not really a rule, more like an observed behavioral pattern :)

The idea is that a comment should add something meaningful - constructive discussion, sharing your personal experience with the topic being discussed. Also, as far as I know, posts with high comments/votes ratio are penalized (flame wars detection).

Thanks for sharing this! I would also recommend reading "The Startup Owner's Manual" by Steve Blank.
