It's pretty much what I've come to expect out of HN, unfortunately. There's a very good chance that most of the people commenting read the first two paragraphs, had a kneejerk reaction and then—if we're lucky, and with HN commenters, we rarely are—maybe skimmed the rest of it. Edit: Actually, having read the comments, I think a bunch of them just looked at the picture.
