I always downvote comments on HN where someone just posts a quote from the linked article and nothing else.

I don't just vote on whether I agree or disagree, I vote on whether I want more comments like that on HN, and I don't want more people quoting the linked articles without adding anything. If I want to read the linked article, I know where to find it.

OK, at least that explains why you did it. Thanks.

It wasn't actually me originally, and that downvote wasn't me either!
