I think you've misread the tone of the article. It seems to be mostly tongue-in-cheek

sigh That's why I posted it, I enjoyed it and decided to share here. Perhaps I went a bit dead pan with my title.

Tone doesn't translate well in text, and HN is culturally pretty against joking/sarcasm

"Tone doesn't translate well in text,"

Very true.

" and HN is culturally pretty against joking/sarcasm"

You speak for all subscribers?

I merely tried to post a link to an article that I found amusing with a title that follows a similar irreverent style that characterises The Register article titles.

Silly me.

I don't speak for all subscribers. It's an observation I've made of HN culture, which others have also observed and mentioned. You're free to believe me or not.
