Taking on Goliath (nickb)

1 points by Ultrapreneur ↗ HN
So I have nowhere near the 2300+ points nickb currently has (and probably deserves for that matter) but feel that there needs to be a few new names added to the leader's board.

so in the spirit of sportsmenship I officially challenge you.

anyone reading this please feel free to add a comment and help a starving entrepreneur reach his dream :)

Eh? The leader board has nothing to do with "success", and everything to do with who wastes the most time on this site;-)

Please don't turn this into a Karma competition.

I stopped reading the main reddit page (and I suspect others do too) after a while - I feel that too many people post articles just to boost their karma. So you'd end up with lots of articles that:

 * Cause outrage in the reader (e.g. the current wave of police abuse stories on reddit)
 * Flattering to the audience yet non productive (LOL BUSH DUMB! LIBERALS HAVE BIGGER BRAINS! RELIGION DUMB!)
 * Not bad but posted with a title taken from the article taken out of context.
 * Reposts from other sites. e.g. digg.
I like news.yc as it is right now, thanks.

If it's a good article, there's nothing wrong with that.
