Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

I will, I apologize, and I love the site.

I do try to contribute constructively but am annoyed at getting downvote-hammered by what I perceive as an echo chamber.

It is very possible that I lack the social skills to understand how what I am doing is inappropriate. I will read the guidelines.

Sorry, and thanks for your efforts.
