Insulting me is a pretty poor way of being persuasive. And English is my first language, thank you. As someone who's apparently more fluent than I am in Englis

Insulting me is a pretty poor way of being persuasive. And English is my first language, thank you. As someone who's apparently more fluent than I am in English, you should have noted that I'm not "putting down" Apache as much as showing that, out of the box, Nginx still is a better option than Apache. This isn't my opinion as much as it is empirically observed fact both in our environment as well as our clients' environments.

> Insulting me is a pretty poor way of being persuasive. I didn't insult you, it was an honest question as I can't assume everyone here is a native English speaker and your confusion could have easily been a language thing. > And English is my first language, thank you. OK, great, then I don't know what was at all confusing about what I said. > Apache as much as showing that, out of the box, Nginx still is a better option than Apache. Such blanket statements are simply unsupportable. It depends entirely on the workload, needs, language, and configuration. Out of the box, Apache isn't configured for the process model that everyone complains makes it a pig.

  You have been downvoted, lol. This is the stupid HN system at work: Someone who doesn't understand English being a native speaker (simple vs simpler) can downvote you because he has "earned" that right, by submitting a gazillion articles with 1 point each.

    I didn't downvote anyone on this thread. In fact, you can't downvote anyone who has replied to you or anyone you're replying to you. Article submissions are for everyone to read whether they're voted for or not. I frequently browse /newest because I see articles that never make the front page, that I enjoy regardless and I want to share what I find interesting. While you're here, you may want to take a browse on the guidelines http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
