I need the upvote numbers back. How am I supposed to distinguish between when someone says something that sounds good but isn't necessarily true and a point that many HNers agree with? This thread is a perfect example. I'm trying to learn something here and I have no way to determine credibility.

Upvoted. I use a Greasemonkey plugin called Backbars, which turns the numbers into a graphical display that floats behind the headline. This makes it even easier to scan a page very quickly, and note what's got traction - which can be as interesting as the articles themselves. HN - please - bring the numbers back.
