I'm afraid HN has a serious problem with downvoters. Why -in heavens name- is the above a question that deserves downvoting?
UPDATE: whoray - I got downvoted too. Gee man. Just not worth it. Buy and thanks for the fish.
- fpgaminer 10y agoI'd venture to guess because it has an unnecessary negative tone to it. Specifically the "Sounds stupid" part. That two word postfix is unnecessary to ask the question and adds a negative and dismissive attitude to the discussion. A good gauge for any comment here is "Would you say this at a business meeting?" I believe the answer here is that the snide remark "Sounds stupid" would be left off when speaking amongst professional company.
