Wouldn't the solution for this type of problem be to write it down only once and thoroughly in a blog post, and then refer to it? Or a number of posts, and you only post the pointer.
I've had that idea in general for public forums, that there should be one thoroughly explained list of aspects and view points, and when there is a problem with a post you simply moderate it with "That
is a #42".
- dang 8y agoIt would seem so, but something in me resists reducing things that way. It feels incongruent with HN's principle of intellectual curiosity. I do sometimes link to previous HN comments, but only ad hoc. And I have to remember things in order to link to them, which prevents it from getting totally static.
