EDIT - I'm glad this is off the front page. This etiquette kick that HN is on is really tiresome. None of you or me (except maybe pg) are the arbiters of what defines polite discourse here. And shame on me for getting dragged into it. The policy I strive towards is that if it's a bad comment (egregiously wrong, trolling, etc) I downvote, if it's a good comment I upvote, and if it's interesting and I have something interesting to add I upvote and reply. It's not the worst policy.
