The HN ranking algorithm seems to be missing out something here! There's already another, older, story [1] on the same topic currently on the front page, ranked #24. I believe it would make more sense if @dang merged both threads in a single, homogenous one for more value.

As you wish.

What are you. Some sort of omnipotent genie admin? Haha

Does the HN system surface things like the comment above to you or are you just everywhere.

@dang is a no-op but I think I happened to see this one organically. Either that or someone emailed...short-term memory doesn't retain much of these

I think dang has often mentioned that "@dang" doesn't work, but I wouldn't put it past him to have an automated search for that ;)
