Sigh, I quit. I'm done posting to HN. The graybeards are right, it's just not the same. Snark and dogma get upvoted, and there's no point trying to fight it.

This isn't meant as a reply so much as a final comment so that anyone who stumbles upon my profile knows why I never post.

Edit: Hate to edit my last post but I replied to the wrong comment and meant to post it here.
