    I think trying one of these for Hubski is a good idea. Though I may be a bad judge of that as I don't know that I'd buy one. The only reason I wear t-shirts these days is for pajamas.

Mock turtlenecks only, huh? :)

I would definitely set the goal much lower.

    There are still a lot of things to be figured out about forums. I predict the world will evolve techniques and customs to protect against this sort of thing, and look back on our era with pity and horror because we didn't have them. But it will probably take a while. I know how hard the problem is, because this is the aspect of HN I most want to improve and spend most time thinking about, and I rarely make progress.

I'd love to chat with pg about this. I wonder if he has ever perused Hubski.

After working in an office for a year and a half I transitioned most of my wardrobe to dress shirts and button downs. And suits, but I don't fit most of those any more (I went from a 36 chest to a 42 in the time I was at the office).

I thought I remembered him at one point having office hours. On occasion anyone could come and have a short talk with him about anything. It may have just been related to YCombinator though.

I always thought it would be kind of funny to submit Hubski to YC.

"Why have you applied to YC?"

"So I could talk to you about communities. What are your thoughts on tags?"
