One of those downvotes is mine. Here's why.

  1. Because "rational <mundane topic>" posts are considered harmful. "Rational" as a buzzword is discouraged around here, and top-level posts on the best way to do $RANDOM_ACTIVITY are better placed in /r/lifehacks than this forum. Heuristic: if it doesn't sound like it fits without the "rational", don't post it.

  2. Because it doesn't have as much content as I expect of substantive comments in Main.

  3. Because the tone strikes me as a little too... creepy, for lack of a better term, to be worthwhile in terms of pure fuzzies. Especially on a comment from 2009.

(Didn't downvote the immediate parent, by the way.)
