People don&amp;#x27;t comment unless they have a point that they want to put across, which in 99% of the cases will be something negative. Just look at HN and (ugh) Twitter -- almost every discussion revolves around people trying to find things to complain about.&lt;p&gt;I instead share a contact e-mail. This works as a good deterrent to filter the pointless complainers, while still allowing those who truly need to contact me to have a way to do so.&lt;p&gt;EDIT: Just might need to clarify that I don&amp;#x27;t mean that HN is overwhelmingly negative, just that the comments usually revolve about nitpicking terms and concepts which would fall into the concept of something &amp;quot;negative&amp;quot;.</text></comment>
