I did find it confusing and I often read the comments first, because I usually find them more interesting. The first line of the article did inform me otherwise: your insight is accurate. I didn't mean to degrade your forum experience. Edit: by the way, if you want don't want to be dismissive of whatever good there is in HN's community, you'd do well not to presume that others are dishonest ("artisticly licensed"). I spent the morning reading about what's actually happening in Ukraine and saw a post on UA's history (this post) and came in expecting to read more about Ukraine. I experienced amusing confusion and shared that.
