Ok, shall we see if we can have an interesting conversation here? I've temporarily turned off flags on the submission, but if the thread goes flameward we will send it down the flamewar chute.

All: if you comment in this thread, make sure your comment is thoughtful and edit out any flamey or trollish bits before hitting the button. The same goes for any thread, of course: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
