Ask HN: Has anyone ever been hired from “Who wants to be hired?” threads?

Just a simple question, I have seen stories of people who were hired based on the job postings threads. Never once have I heard of anyone getting anything other than recruiter spam from the Ask HN: Who wants to be Hired threads. I think it might be useful to hear stories either way.

Were you hired after someone contacted you?

Did you receive responses that weren't recruiter-spam from your posts there?
