Is that what people are thinking - that I'm angling to rake in 10 cents on some kind of business relationship with Lee Valley? I sure am curious what they have in mind.

As one person who downvoted it, I apologize. My subconscious spam detector went crazy when I read that comment, and I just instinctively clicked the down arrow. I quickly realized my mistake after reading the reply, but unfortunately we can't undo votes here.

The good thing about HN, however, is that incorrect scores for comments are corrected pretty quickly by others.

As an aside, I'm impressed with how well we handle spurious downvotes here. I saw your comment at -3, and yet it has since been "neutralized". Good to see.
