This comment is getting a lot of downvotes for a fairly straightforward question, so I just want to remind everyone about one of the HN guidelines:
Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
- lightedman 8y agoYea, most people on HN abandoned that long ago, including the admins.
- DenisM 8y agoThe tone of the question reads angry and incredulous, not curious, hence the downvotes. You will also note that the poster of the question never came back to acknowledge the work people put into replying and explaining the situation. I believe that eduction wasn't the intent here.
- jshevek 8y agoI see nothing in the word choice of the grandparent comment to imply anger. Regarding "coming back", the poster may be in a different time zone or have an abnormal work / life schedule
- v-yadli 8y agoYour response shows a good example of not interpreting the strongest, or possibly the only intent, of the message. Your explanation is flawed because it’s derived from how you think of the speaker with no good faith.
