On technical issues it is vital to see which approach the best and brightest (HN users) are in majority. Not everyone has time to write up a definitive comment and as someone learning many techniques concurrently I need to separate the wheat from the chaffe as efficiently as possible. Paul is undeniably brilliant, as shown by the Distrupt video in which he probably made several lucky startups quite a bit better by shear acumen. But he says in this post that the voting on this was roughly even. Hmmm. Not quite. He knows what he wants to do and can (and has, I don't believe we are going back), but he would like the community to back him up on this but it's not happening. Last time was 57% in favor of submission comments and this time 60%. I plead, beg and grovel please let me see comment scores. I will be here regardless, and thank you for this tremendous resource I was lucky enough to stumble upon.
