You made the edit while I was posting. The edited post is different, like I have mentioned. My reply was to the original. It's a classic concurrency problem.

You made the edit while I was posting. The edited post is different, like I have mentioned. My reply was to the original. It's a classic concurrency problem. A = thinkcomp, B = me: A posts A starts editing (1) B starts replying (2) A finishes editing (and sees no reply) B finishes replying (and sees edit) B edits his post * (1) and (2) can be reversed for this point to be the same Based on this sequence, there it is reasonable for you to think I was replying to your edited post. It is not the case tho, please take my word for it. HN provides no way for me to know that you are editing as I write. As for profile etc, you are the one making the claim, it is your responsibility to present qualifying references if you want me to think your statements are valid, not my job to chase down the source of every 2 sentence comment on HN.
