Seriously, the only thing this does is make it clear someone is childishly trying to screw over a company by making them look bad. It really won't work here.
I was under no illusions that this new user was connected with "the real" New Relic. There is no evidence for that. My comments were directed at the person. I should've remembered that there are people who post this kind of thing just to screw around, and that no amount of engagement will turn them into someone of value.
Yeah, I know, "Don't feed the trolls."
Even on HN.
I'll delete my comments, flag the inappropriate stuff, and move on.
