It wasn't meant to be a jab at your newness exactly. I just thought you're rushing into commenting too quickly perhaps? I don't know, I didn't even make an account on Hacker News for over a year after reading and didn't comment much right away afterwards still. Everyone is different though in that regard and just because it suited me does not mean it does for everyone, so take my example at face value.

I just loved the comments and insight on here and felt I shouldn't post much unless I really felt I had something to add to the conversation. If you haven't yet, I recommend reading the FAQ area[1] about posting stories and comments. It's really good information that seems to get skipped over sometimes.

Also, welcome to HN :)
