Dear person,

  I am sorry if this looks out of the blue, but I was trying to answer to an old thread, and HackerNews seems to lock old threads and doesn't allow for private messages (unless I am too dumb to figure it out, which is always a possibility).

Anyway, I wanted to reply to the very thoughtful comment you left my after I inquired about your responsibilities at a co/op(1) and I wanted to tell you that I am very proud of you and that you are the type of "hacker" that I aspire to be :)

I hope this doesn't come as too forward and I wish you anything but the best.
