  Do you have a point here? I don't think users here will appreciate your passive-aggressive remark.

      I merely say this because these sort of passive-aggressive remarks are generally not tolerated here. It just doesn't make for very interesting conversation, flamewars aside. >Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
