Off Topic: Twice in this thread he/she asked the same condescending question if the person he/she was replying to had actually read the article, with this one in particular showing indication he failed to read a portion of the article also. I didn't really care to start up an argument with someone on the internet if they were having a bad day (we all have bad days), so I quickly glanced over their comment history and saw a pattern.

I was not trying to start an argument or flame war, and dedicated a significant portion of my reply to the topic of conversation and tried to be brief in reminding him/her about the reasons most of us visit HN over other news aggregating sites.
