Yeah okay, so I guess it's of zero interest to anybody who clicked on an article about the Latin neuter. Thanks for the feedback.

No, my feedback is that it's not clear what you meant. I guess I wasn't very clear either.

Sorry for the sarcasm. I just meant it as one additional data point on the subject of the article.

Not to get too off topic, but I got snippy because I just don't understand what standards comments are sometimes held to. Mine may not have been the most interesting comment in the world, but when I go to the trouble of making what I think is a reasonable contribution to the discussion, and then some people decide it's so bad I should do karmic penance, it hurts my feelings. I apologize once again for taking it out on you.

I've learned that there's an element of randomness and momentum, and sometimes you just get a raw deal. What still kills me is when some post gets downvoted and someone replies "you're getting downvoted but actually that's a good post!" and they get upvoted.

It's not as though you can trade the upvotes for prizes anyway.

It's karmic roulette - The rules are made up, and the points don't matter :-)
