  Why? I've explained my reasoning for linking to it and several people agree with why I've linked to it. Maybe you don't agree? I guess that's your right as one of the moderators... I really am starting to wonder if you are seeing a different XKCD comic to me, or maybe I'm being gas lighted by HN.

    We sometimes detach threads that users have already flagkilled when they don't bring new information to a discussion, since we're all here to learn and memes and clichés can get in the way of that. "Obligatory xkcd", especially the standards one, is as predictable as anything here.

      Okay, fair enough. It's not off topic though is it. And thanks for explaining.
