Also to add to the earlier comment, the only reason I wrote the rant was that I care enough about HN. I am not looking for approval or karma- I knew what I meant and what I was saying. But you know how people get irritated by a stupid fanboyish comment here, and make it a point to downvote it. In the same vein I got irritated by people misunderstanding what I was saying, and wanted to do something about it.
