I doubt a majority of HNers saw the original submission.

Edit: To the pedantic downvoters, do you have to be completely hostile all the time? This is exactly the crap that is making HN a worse community-- a bunch of egotistical trolls chasing superiority highs. The problem is the trolls are more motivated to downvote than the normal people are willing to upvote, so eventually all interaction will be suppressed other than the few voiced the hive-mind accepts and agrees with.
