You started a hellish flamewar in this thread and then fueled it repeatedly. Please don't do this on HN, and please particularly avoid tit-for-tat spats like this. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. We want curious conversation here.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
