@Theaetetus you're really over-doing the self-promotion here, perhaps you could review the guidelines, specifically:

> Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.

Oops! I haven’t read the guidelines in a while, and for a long time I only lurked. Thanks for setting me straight. I’m accustomed to forums where there’s no problem with posting your own stuff. Obviously I’ll correct my behavior. Thanks again!

You could always, y'know, make flashcards from the guidelines:D

Ha! The shame will make me remember this quite easily without any help. :)

I am many things, but not a bot.
