Unless I'm much mistaken comments on HN show whether they've been edited more than a few seconds after they're first posted. I believe I edited that comment to clarify something a few seconds after I posted it, in an effort to prevent people from taking my words out of context to incite rage and then blame me for that. But I'm sure whatever your comment was it was really well thought out in the short time you had available, and that it didn't do any of those things.

- edbob 6y agoYou're mistaken. I've edited comments a significant time after they were replied to. See the edit note on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26187343 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26187343
