> You're seriously doubling down on your ignorance instead of just admitting that you were wrong?
From the guidelines:
> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
> When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
> Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

- generalizations 2y agoI don't really care one way or the other if iTunes let people set custom album covers back in the day. That first comment by OP just stuck out like a sore thumb. The guidelines are there because they make HN nicer to participate in.
