I didn't downvote you, but I'm not sure this is a helpful comment. I flagged the story because I think that's a much more useful and direct way to express that you don't think a certain story belongs on this site. And I realize I'm being a hypocrite here, but the only thing worse than off-topic stories is lengthy debates over what is and is not off-topic.

(And, incidentally, the stories on HN tend to get rather off-topic over the weekend when, I imagine, much of its core user base is not checking the site. I wouldn't sweat it too much.)
