> Was that intended to be an example of a low value comment?
Essentially that is how it ended up. After rewriting it a couple of times from the original link to lmgtfy I probably should have just said to myself "You know, if that was a serious question on his part he would have done a search and known the answer long before I could compose this reply, so just let it sit there." I attribute it to being depressed at the lack of response to the 'Take Action' stuff yesterday which has put a huge damper on my mood today. After this comment I won't say anything more on HN until my mood improves.
The high value response would have been to infer he didn't know the incident you were referring to, and then to explain it to him.
