Wow. It's okay you didnt get it, guy.

  Yeah, actually, I think my rant is more due to the fact that I don't think I get the joke...is it possible to get an explanation from somebody who gets the joke, rather than just being modded down? Is the joke "hey this diagram looks like that diagram"?

    Yes, that would be my understanding of the joke. Not hilarious but nothing to get angry about.

      Yes, nothing to get angry about (I probably came across too aggressive), but I believe that the prevalence of pithy-one-liners like these (which get massive upvotes), reduce the quality of HN for reasons listed above. And I don't think I'm the only one: I noticed my comment fluctuate wildly between +6 and -4 over the course of a couple of hours...there's many others who feel the same way, even though we are now in the minority. Regardless of what pg says, there's many of us that feel that HN has slowly decreased in quality over the last two years (that's putting it diplomatically). Perhaps the time has come to fork HN.
