Opinion pieces used to be more insightful than the news. Now they’re just more ridiculous. Research the subject instead, you will be better informed than the people writing these articles.

DarwinMailApp gives us all a lesson in customer service in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19705440 His tone is exactly right, and encourages more follow-ups as a result. Well done!
