If I could go a week without someone on HN using the word "fanboy" I'd be a happy man.


Yet, you seem to be okay with the folks who flag this story.

What do you call people who go out of their way to flag even product announcements and posts like this? Tech enthusiasts? I'll be happy to use a less abrasive substitute.


No, I think that's pretty lame too.


I'm guessing he intended to mean it would be nice if there was a week without necessity for the word, rather than the word itself being entirely bad (it's over-used, but I agree in this instance it was apt).


Forgive my ignorance. How do you know people are flagging the story?
