But you didn't close it? So you're not even one negative datapoint. I don't think any rational dev would close a useful developer resource based on perf reasons.

Again, I'm merely replying to the initial comment which was needlessly negative and frankly a tiring trope on HN (rudely criticising something unimportant about the site regardless of its intended use).

Honestly, your going on about it is worse. Sometimes a negative comment just comes out badly. It happens. And even then, taken in good faith, at least it's somewhat constructive. This whole sub-thread of you arguing against people doing exactly that, is off-topic good for nothing ballast. That is a tiring and persistent HN-trope I can really do without.

Just answered each comment as it came, trying to defend a good submission against nonsensical snark.

If you don't like sub-threads I suggest you get an HN-reader than can collapse comments.
