Well, the alternatives are:
> It would be really cool if someone built an extension to show GitHub status live
"These already exist, why wouldn't you search before posting?"
> There exist quite a few extensions to show live GitHub status
"Why would you not post them if you know they exist?"
Or, what actually happened:
> Here are some extensions that might work for you to show live GitHub status
"Why would you recommend extensions to do this?"
Seems to me like, if your goal is to pick apart someone suggesting something, you'll find a way to.
> "Why would you recommend extensions to do this?"
This is not my complaint though, my complain is:
Why would you recommend extensions you haven't tried nor even read about yourself?
The goal isn't to pick apart the message to piss someone off, the goal is prevent someone else than the author from getting hacked because they install some random extension, not understanding what kind of access you're giving others when doing so.
