This is where seeing points would be great - seeing what everyone else things. Both are correct in my view, but I want to know what others think.


I disagree - again :p - I'm very happy to be freed from the influence of others when reading a comment.

Listening to different opinion isn't a poll, isn't it?


But the HN moral compass tends to be so strong! I have no aversion to running against the grain (and am perversely attracted to it), but like to know the lay of the land before I make a choice on something. I like that the no show policy on points prevents some of my previous behaviour (like staring at a comment which had lots of points, trying hard to work out what the hell was wrong with the voters).
