- tome 5y agoPlease don't take downvotes on innocuous comments personally. Someone will come by and randomly downvote. Why? Who knows? A few minutes later someone else will restore the balance. On the other hand it's really annoying to read complaints about downvotes. > Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
