Please don't break the site guidelines by going on about downvotes. That's a strict reduction in signal/noise ratio, which mars your otherwise fine comment. We're trying for the opposite here.

Downvotes can irritate, but there are at least two balms that don't involve adding noise to the threads. One is to remember that people sometimes simply misclick. The other is that unfairly downvoted comments mostly end up getting corrective upvotes from fair-minded community members (as happened with yours here).

Thanks for the info. I forgot about that guideline. Too bad I can't edit my comment.


I've re-opened it for editing for you and will happily delete my comment if you take that bit out.


Thanks. Done.

I'm happy for you to leave your comment. It might help someone else in future.


Thanks!
