But I'll patch the alt-left thing if it makes you happy. :-/ Still, if you want to give feedback, write an email and make it friendly. It doesn't make people feel good with "ugh". There's so much "ugh"-worthy stuff out there and I don't think I deserve that.

I appreciate you taking the time to fix the alt-left problem. I've run into too many sites doing similar things lately, including Google Blogger-based sites; this was just the most recent one I've run into. I was attempting to express a very mild annoyance; sorry if it came across as excessively snarky.

It's all right, I just try kind of hard to be the least ad-having, most license friendly, site I can host... so it gets my goat a bit given what I think are better "ugh" targets by far.

I'm traveling and it's not convenient to fix it tonight, but I will do it as soon as I can.

Not the original commenter, but you clearly haven't hung around HN for very long :)

Indeed, not my generation, not my thing. Back in my day, if you wanted to say something to someone you said it to their face. Gloves were thrown on the ground. Duels were had. It doesn't end until someone gets shot in the face.

Well maybe these modernizations are good. You shoot people in the face virtually.
