Many people here mention comments. I'm interested in story submissions.

Please, which submissions have you made that you felt deserved more upvotes? And which do you feel got too much attention?

I was surprised that "Invention of Waterloo (Canada tech triangle) got over 100 votes.

I was gently surprised that some of my other stories got no up votes at all. The Electronic Landscape in 1986 - while being really poorly formatted for HN, would have been interesting to people born after that era; "Wait, what? You had these online communities who were not part of the Internet? Who were trying to compete with the Internet? And then they offer Internet access as a bonus feature?"

On topic: I comment too much, and I'm reigning it back. ANd I'm trying to increase the signal.
