    While I realize that this is /., and that /. is "supposed" to be for that 1% of the computer using market that speaks in lanquage the "norms" can't understand, but seriously would like to know why should I care?

    You've answered yourself. If you don't want to care, no-ones stopping you finding another website, it's not as if there's a shortage of them. Perhaps you could show a little common courtesy and not try and spoil it for those of us who do, but I guess that's too much to ask for these days.
