You seem to have noticed that discussions are far better on news.yc than they are on reddit, but you clearly haven't figured out why. Most people who decide to comment make sure their comments actually add to the discussion, which the grandparent poster did, even if you disagree with him. You, however, didn't.
This is exactly the kind of comment that drags down reddit (and digg and slashdot). If you disagree with something, refute it instead of just calling names.
please cease (ooh, rhyme) the horrible analogies and abstractions as well.
p.s. how on earth does a document management app make you feel uncomfortable? please step outside of your sheltered world and take a stroll
