I know we are not supposed to talk about down voting but in this case I would really like to know why? The article Steve links to is great and even the GP (top comment) approves. Yet Steve's comment is now dimmed. I thought HN was supposed to be better.

It isn't dimmed. It contains only a link and visited links are styled to be lighter gray than normal text. You can check this with the inspector: normal comments have the class c00 (color: #000000); dimmed comments have classes like c5a (color: #5a5a5a), c73, etc.
