It was so good I thought I'd make an exception and do both

Most downvotes I've ever gotten on any comment, iirc.

Thank you for the explanation, tho. It's sure be nicer here if people would do that instead of just drive-by downvoting someone for being a bit over-enthusiastic

Oh, it's definitely OK to explain a downvote. In fact, it's little bit rude to downvote without giving an explanation. But a comment that says nothing but "What a great article!" just invites an endless chain of "Yeah, I thought so too", "Me too", "Me three" comments. Soon HN would become indistinguishable from Reddit.
