Is it only me who finds "Ask Prateek" tad conceited ? I am none too comfortable with the idea of helping oneself to someone else's work/brand unless it was expressly opened for that purpose. But then imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery.

It doesnt help much that the Indian software scene has a stronger reputation for copying than for innovating. And I am Indian. I have similar minor peeves about OSQA helping themselves to SO. But I take back my comments if the news.ycombinator src as well as the brand were indeed opened up for that purpose.

Edit: "Ask Prateek" is "Ask HNI" now, so I take back that part of my criticism.
