Why are you replying to your own coment?

[happytoexplain]

I think it's a bot? There's an identical version of this comment in another reply, except it cuts off half way through a sentence.

I hit reply on the wrong post and you can't delete comments or at least I don't see how it can be done

Above the comments I've written on HN I see:

5 minutes ago | parent | next | edit | delete

[hxugufjfjf]

That only lasts for a few minutes until it’s locked and you can no longer delete after that.

[eqvinox]

It lasts 2 full hours, at least for edit. Delete stops working when someone replies afaik.

[rdme]

because I clicked reply on the wrong one and you can't delete it...

[nalekberov]

Of course I can’t prove it, but i am guessing some kind of “AI” is doing that. Humans rarely use emdashes.

Please don't break the site guidelines, regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are.

You're right about em dashes of course (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47154752) but being right on a point does not make it ok to attack another user or violate the rules of the site.

Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.
