@dang I refresh HN way too often and didn't even see this - 240 points, 152 comments, and it's on page 3 in position 81. What's up/can we merge all these threads?

Edit: in particular asking because it's not visibly flagged

[dang]

I'll merge the threads but in the future if you want to get this information to us please use [e-mail]. "@dang" is a no-op and I only saw your comment by accident.

TIL. I see so much "@dang" in HN threads I assumed it actually did something.

[mustacheemperor]

Thanks, will do in the future!

Just curious, how’d that submission wind up so far downranked?

It set off the flamewar detector a.k.a. the overheated discussion detector. Surprising as that may be for a reddit thread.

I get to repeat my joke since if the earlier explanation wasn't seen, the joke wasn't seen either.

[mustacheemperor]

Haha, and I appreciate you did.
