I don't have time to continue this discussion right now. I just wanted to mention something that's bothering me. Right now it looks like I'm getting voted up and you down, and that's stupid. Your comments aren't of lower quality than mine, they're simply disagreeing with mine. There seem to be only a couple people doing it (I don't vote on threads I'm involved in), so I say to them... please vote according to the quality and relevance of the comment, not how much you like the content. Vote up to signal agreement if you must, but don't vote down if the comment is clearly on topic and well written.

I'm afraid that I disagree with you on the quality of PJ Eby's contributions, and that I have neither the time nor inclination to take direct part in this thread.

Oh great, now they're downvoting you, too. ;-)

On behalf of all those who suffer from extreme karma-loss-aversion, I want to second this message. Please don't downvote just because you disagree on substance.

(I came close to deleting a recent comment of mine that was downvoted shortly after being posted. It's now at +12.)
