Did you consult a lawyer before posting this? Given how litigious some folk in SV are, I'd be wary. Microsoft doesn't tend to help fund defamation suits, they're not quite Oracle, but you never know.

Also.. This seems to have disappeared from the front page.

I'm aware of my rights.

In regards to the front-page, there's a lot of downvotes. Went from 160 upvotes to 121 in a matter of minutes. I suspect bots.

Submissions can't be downvoted on Hacker News, only comments. The site does fuzzing of posts it thinks are being fraudulently voted up.

Well, that was really strange then. I don't know who would have defrauded the votes, because it certainly wasn't me.
