I strongly suggest you don't ask these questions. I upvoted your comment because I think it's worth being upvoted, but I'm generally a downvoter when I see that someone asks, regardless of how much I might agree with the comment, and I think I'm not the only one.

I've been wondering if that's a good approach, but I mostly feel that it's a good principle to uphold the HN rules over whatever comment I might agree with, so I downvote comments that include complaints.
