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 :-)
