I thought the “never read the comments section” rule could be safely ignored on that post, since comments were turned off. After following two of the pingbacks, I wanted to throttle two separate people and demand of them the ten minutes of my life that they wasted.

Actually, it may be best to not discuss it in short-form comments; I haven’t read the 772 comments on this post (I’ve been on vacation), and I don’t expect to start now.
