Perhaps Gigablah was trying to be helpful?

Perhaps Gigablah was trying to be helpful? HN can be frustrating if you provoke it. The problem isn't so much what you said as how you put it: the combination of dismissive tone and superficial content puts readers here on edge, because too many comments are like that and we all find them annoying. As a result it's easy to have your good intentions misread. If you had explained the thought process behind your comment, I think it would have been received better.
