Mister Wainzinger,

Sorry to ask for your time, but if it is possible for you to let me know, I would love to read about a Japanese engineer living in the US. Are you aware of any related articles or response articles on this topic? I understand that it may be an inconvenience to tell me about these articles, but your cooperation is greatly appreciated in this matter.

Apologies and thanks,

Thien, Chip




I don't think you'll get a reply to this because this article wasn't posted to Hacker News by its original author, and I don't think the original author is participating in this comment thread at all. You might want to find a different way of contacting the author.


I don't blame him for trying, the number of times I've seen someone pop into the comments of a submission saying "Hi I'm ________ and I wrote/made/did/worked on this" is pretty high on this website.


I'm 99% sure it was a joke, written in the style described in the article.


Could be! Poe's Law has come up pretty often on Hacker News recently; maybe I'm the latest "victim". :-)


It appears to be a reference to the part of the column discussing trouble crafting emails.
