I find it curious that the moderators grayed out the references provided in comments by "randomgthoughts". I would be curious to know the rationale. It seems to me that citations into the literature are a plus and not a minus.

The elided references are:

https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=EPA-HQ-OPP-2015-0653-....

"D. Drew et al., Chlorpyrifos: Revised Human Health Risk Assessment for Registration Review, December 29, 2014, D424485; 

The moderators almost certainly didn't do anything. If you have a question about something that happened with moderation, mail it to hn@ycombinator.com.
I deleted them from one of my replies and moved them to a different reply.
