Alright well that ruined the context of the commentary. Unfortunate. And now I can’t edit to make an appropriate adjustment. Neat.
HN will edit your comments but not let you delete your account? Interesting precedent.
- dang 7y agoI've opened your GP comment for editing if you'd like to make an appropriate adjustment. Account deletion is a separate question, of course. On HN we try hard to balance individual interests, such as for privacy, with community interest, such as other people's comments not losing the context they were replying to. To judge by the reactions we hear from users, we're able to care of nearly everything that nearly everyone needs. But it does require emailing us, rather than using some mechanical feature that would just erase everything an account had ever posted.
