I’m someone that often reads the comments before reading the article, so it’s helpful to know what people think is blog spam and what is actually worth reading.
I'm making the claim that the OP's comment is both derogatory ("rambling", "waste of my time") and not relevant to the solution described in the article. Therefore, if anything, the comment is more deserving of being labeled spam than the article itself.
Seconded. I think one of Hackernews’ biggest value-adds versus say Oreilly is the eagerness with which the commenters on this site will rip apart bad ideas/articles.
