If I, like draq, am being heavily downvoted -- this post would be positive for anyone else.

You misunderstand. Your posts are not being downvoted specifically because people dislike you. Neither are draq's. A downvote means, approximately, "I would like to see less of this."

Do you really want to say that regardless of what I've learned, you "would appreciate it if you would cease making top-level posts entirely" until I've paid for my previous errors through certain very limited activities?

Yes. If you have actually learned something then your comments will reflect this and earn karma. You'll be into the positives before you know it.

I always have been trying to calculate the expected value of their content for your readers.

If this is so, you have been doing it very badly.

I'm sorry I have to be so blunt, but I have yet to see any indication that you have actually learned something.

OK. Got it.

If this is so, you have been doing it very badly.

I've already acknowledged that. But I've clearly been doing better with the "What I missed" explanation being +5 and this post only garnering -2 over two days as opposed to -6 in a few hours so I must have learned something.

I've also learned that we've reached the point where some people are tired enough of this thread that they will go through it karma down any comment by me and karma up any comment not agreeing with me. (I should go visit draq's posts and disagree with him ;-)
