We don't know what that ratio is, as we don't track it, and I'm skeptical that anyone does.

shrugs I wasn't referring specifically to HN, nor was I trying to suggest I know the exact ratio. What I know is it's extremely unlikely that this story is being upvoted because of that given that 1. A lot of people upvote on title alone (I'll die on that hill); 2. Not many people know who Paul Vixie is; 3. Those that do might not notice the name in the UI/email (I certainly didn't).

That’s something you believe. Die on whatever hill you choose.

The top comment on HN explains who Paul Vickie is. I believe people tend to read comments before reading the article or voting.

The current top comment was not written at the time I wrote mine, and was not top comment until less than an hour ago.

If you want a spot on my hill, I have room to rent.
