That's not quite what's annoying me. Maybe the more bothersome thing is that some number of people in here have been regularly downvoting people who have done nothing worse than posting factually correct information.

Almost as if people were trying to use HN's voting system as an ersatz referendum on their preferred big data packages rather than as a way to self-moderate the quality of the discussion.

We're supposed to be a crowd that favors mature discussions about technical topics. We can do better.
