Yes, it's incredibly annoying (and I'm contributing to the problem by participating in this meta discussion). My general policy is any time I see a post that does this (without saying anything else substantive), I downvote and flag. I usually reserve flagging for truly egregious examples of garbage, but I make an exception for this type of post.

And meanwhile instead of reading later comments and participating, I'm commenting on this dumb thread. Sigh.

Edit: wow, at the time of writing, there are only three comments on this post that's actually about the article itself, with the rest complaining about the page design. C'mon HN, do better.
