Please don't copy/paste comments on HN. It lowers signal/noise ratio and is a big pain when we go to merge duplicate threads.

Edit: instead, if you see a duplicate thread, letting us know at hn@ycombinator.com is helpful. Then we're sure to know about it, and can also make sure that your comment makes it into the merged thread.

Sorry about that, but I didn't know there were any attempts to merge threads. I just saw there were two threads with 5 minutes between them and didn't want to comment in the one that would die. Will keep that in mind in the future.
