This is the comment where I point out that, based on the number of votes the submission has received, it seems that you're alone in considering this submission to an example of the decadence of Hacker News; and note that, in any case, the correct response is to flag the submission, not to complain about it in the comments.
This is the sentence in which I try to steer the thread back to he original topic. This sentence is my backup in which I blather unrelated, anecdotal stuff from my workplace, because it just popped into my head and I have the slight feel that my first sentence won't meet his purpose.
