I honestly don't understand why you're angry. We are a link blog, and we linked to an interesting post from reddit, for our interested readers who don't want to sift through every link on every internet site. We aren't trying to pass this post off as original material; in fact, we went the extra mile to link and credit the OP and every commenter quoted. And now that you have an account, you won't see hardly any ads. If you decide to come back, you'll be welcome.
