As for the fiddling, i get you. For me typically the only fiddling i do is set Win2k colors, narrow space wastes and set a font that's a little less wide than the default. Pure usability fixes. Maybe that's why they never had those options, because Jobs would've ripped off anyone's head who introduces usability issues. It's not that i'm worried about the downvotes. Occasionally i intentionally post things that i know will get downvoted, but go ahead anyhow because the reality that might be uncomfortable to some still deserves to be voiced. In this case though there is nothing obvious, so i am honestly curious what about my post someone disagreed with strong enough to click that button. I ask, if nothing else, because an earnest explanation of the downvote might be interesting in itself. :)

See this post? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8363269 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8363269. Sure it has 10 points now, but someone down voted it minutes after I posted it. I have no idea why. Maybe a bad day at work, maybe the down voter is just an asshole taking advantage of their 500 karma and anonymity. But you'll rarely get an answer, so move on and let them seethe about it ("I'll show that asshole, with my might power of Down Arrow!") instead of you.
