Firstly, your going to disappoint some poor guy doing research on the size of his penis with your title. As for the content of your article. Really liked it. Some of the numbers in tables were a little hard to follow at times. Other than that, I love these sort of articles which can point out some interesting tip bits of information which you otherwise wouldn't find. ( just assumed maybe )

Thats my first negative score! takes it on the chin A nice feature would be, "negative points because". So that I can learn from it. I have a sneaky feeling it will be related to my opening line. Im guessing im probably not the first to ask for that feature.

    Thanks for your hunch. You have quite an impressive karma score considering your 68days old here. Thankfully I enjoy this site for more than my karma record. Does deleting it remove the lost karma? Is the idea of negatively voting down a comment. ( Other than the obvious ) To encourage the user to delete it?

My guess is that 'deleting' a comment actually sets a 'deleted' flag somewhere in the data base rather than actually removing it; but I haven't looked at the code so I'm just speculating. > Is the idea of negatively voting down a comment ... To encourage the user to delete it? No. The purpose is to encourage commentary that follows the site's discussion guidelines: http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html (see section titled "In Comments") In fact, the window to delete a comment is only open for a set amount of time after posting, after which the site withdraws the option to delete.
