obviously I did

what do we do now, ask other users for their input? make a poll?

i don't know why HN has this habit of using anecdotes as absolute counter-arguments, makes for uninteresting discussion in my opinion

and the subtext is always the same "A did/didn't happen to me, so then it follows A does/doesn't happen to anyone"

Actually, you phrased your previous post as though it were a fact, not an opinion, so it's more like "A didn't happen for me, so A does not happen for everyone."

I was challenging your assertion, not making a counter-assertion.
