I missed a _not_ in that sentence. I and most other people on HN obviously want to know everything.

Not obvious to everyone. HN is a place for people to learn, as well as discuss.

I don't think most people on HN realize this.

brudgers | karma 49350 | avg karma 2.35 · | 2011-02-25 17:40:00+00:00

There are many things on HN about which I don't have much interest, and many things on HN about which I am interested but don't have time to follow up on.

So I don't try to keep up with everything.

I would have assumed everyone would know this stuff, especially on HN.

If you're the kind of person that frequents HN, I would have thought you'd have the google skills to find that out.

It's obvious I meant the people on the website, not HN itself.

Do most HN visitors know who they are? This title could have been better is what I was trying to (crudely) get across.

It's called Ask HN

archagon | karma 6989 | avg karma 2.66 · | 2013-10-25 16:31:33

Because you are not the only person on HN.

HN is an important site I guess.

kolinko | karma 5311 | avg karma 2.56 · | 2011-03-28 10:44:17+00:00

The thing here is - I know this, you know this, most people on HN know this. But an average user won't.

raarts | karma 1463 | avg karma 1.49 · | 2018-07-19 22:00:49

You know, if you're on HN a lot and respond to questions like this, you share a lot of valuable private information. Which is publicly accessible.

joshu | karma 14055 | avg karma 3.32 · | 2015-05-02 18:14:18+00:00

I would have thought that someone on HN would know how to use a search engine.

jagira | karma 1 | avg karma 0.01 · | 2011-01-05 07:34:25

It was an example. I do not know anybody else on HN. :-)

lukeholder | karma 2066 | avg karma 3.5 · | 2022-05-25 11:10:24

There are many of us on HN.

MattBearman | karma 3523 | avg karma 4.48 · | 2011-08-19 08:44:44

Ooops, considering I spend more time than is healthy on HN, I have no idea how I missed that.

oblio | karma 25694 | avg karma 2.47 · | 2018-12-14 09:23:48

> People not on HN

vonwoodson | karma 374 | avg karma 1.55 · | 2021-02-19 18:03:23+00:00

Thank you for pointing out the obvious: That even on HN people talk before they know even they tiniest thing about who or what they are talking about.

rjh29 | karma 2702 | avg karma 2.54 · | 2024-05-15 08:21:35

You're on HN, you're not the general public.
