To be fair, your Obama question was retarded. Sorry, I'm being honest.

  To be fair, POTUS is one of the most important people in the World. His team should be reading news.ycombinator.com for many (I would have thought, obvious) reasons.

    OK, now I suspect you're a troll, and that tsetse-fly is some kind of sock-puppet, and that you really need to think of something better to do with your time than this. update: No, now I come to look at it, tsetse-fly has been around for a while and made some sensible comments, so probably isn't a sockpuppet. mellow, on the other hand, is 14 days old and has mostly posted rubbish.

  Can't you think of a better put-down than "retarded"? It's one of those nasty things to say that show the truth to the phrase "don't get into an argument with an idiot, lest people have trouble discerning which one is the idiot". Not to mention that it's apparently offensive to people who have friends and family who suffer from Down Syndrome. Let's see... brainstorming... "Your query regarding the probability of the Obama team dedicating any time to a niche technology site demonstrates a lack of connection to reality usually associated with people who have recently ingested large quantities of mind-altering substances." I'm sure that could be improved upon, but this isn't really the appropriate place for that sort of thing.

    I agree.
