Hey, thanks for letting us know you've got some sort of god complex on HN.

  What an uncharitable interpretation of my comment! Stories like this get flagged off the front page all the time. I'm happy to see this one hasn't, because it is formally interesting (even if the subject isn't germane to HN).

    I realized it was not, honestly, directly germane to HN, but decided to post it because I figured this crowd would into especially-good data visualizations. I'm glad someone else agreed!

    It is uncharitable and I generally find your 'I flagged this' comments useful, despite being at odds with the holy guidelines. But ignore the meaniepants bit - the commenter has a point - "I flagged, then I unflagged it [etc]" is unintentional drama-generating fluff. You could have just said "The title makes it sound like a purely political story but it's really a Mike Bostock thing and worth a read"

      Sure. It reads funny because it was (very briefly) a standard "I flagged this" comment that I went back and edited.
