Ooops, I should have posted this either to either alecsmart1 or igl's comment on this thread.

My apology to you Zelphyr since most of my comment wasn't meant to address your point. The only part that is relevant is the part about making a dismissive comment that often becomes the most upvoted comment that pg often laments brings down the quality of discourse on HN.

Lastly, FWIW, this post wasn't even submitted to HN by bmattos, but a very long-time HN member whose been on HN for 6 years and 3 months. He's got a good HN reputation and a pretty solid github profile. Hardly the kind of person who I would imagine would submit payola posts.
