It's ironic: your HN profile says "My company is Buro 9 Limited and it's a vehicle for me to work with the things I love..." Yet you mock others for what they're clearly enthusiastic about.

Welcome to HN. You're clearly new as this is your only comment and your account is less than 6 hours old.

You also edited your comment from the earlier revision of "Do you not have something intelligent to add" (slight paraphrasing there).

So... just a troll? Unnecessarily scathing for a first post, no?

My comment above was certainly not meant disparagingly or to "pick on" the author. In fact I enjoy the posts made.

Anyone who has worked on producing densely populated diagrams and charts dynamically will have an appreciation for this kind work and would also be keen to hear the subtleties of other peoples solutions to the problem.

My apologies. I thought I detected sarcasm/negativity in your earlier comment--but I guess I was wrong. (I, too, thought the post was excellent and was only trying to defend it.)
