- Joeboy 12y agoHaving googled a bit, I still think what I wrote is correct. Judging by the downvote I guess at least one person thinks otherwise. I'd be interested to know what the situation is, if it's not that.

- jacquesm 12y agoDownvotes can mean anything from 'You are not right' to 'I don't think you are right' or 'I wish that you weren't right' to 'I don't like you or your message' on HN. Don't be upset by it.
