  Please don't break the site guidelines by going on about downvotes. Users will often come along and provide corrective upvotes (edit: your original comment has now been heavily upvoted), and then comments like this linger on, no longer accurate but just adding noise. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
