oh come on. first i wasn't deriding the original post - if i was "deriding" anything, it was whoever decided it was worth posting here (and those that upvoted it). second, if a rather gentle observation like that is enough to get you offended, you're too sensitive. or you get your rocks off "defending" people that don't need it, or whatever...
- scott_s 17y agoOr I like that HN encourages good discussion. Sarcastic "I already knew that" posts are not good discussion. And I did upvote it, for that reminder and for the pointers to the programs that aid in writing manpages.
- andrewcooke 17y agoone good thing about HN is that it's selective. there's always some small nugget of information in a post, if you look hard enough. that shouldn't be sufficient for an up-vote.
