> I edited it 5 seconds after posting it. And those edits don't propagate to pages that are already open. > You posted 20 minutes after I posted it. GP could easily have taken 20 minutes to read the article and comments before wading in. I know I've posted replies after leaving a tab open for hours before.

That is hardly OP's fault, since there is no way to be aware of others' HN reading behavior.

        Sure, but as a casual passer-by it seems like you're rationalizing the somewhat petulant comment from tpmx which did include those words: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27755083 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27755083

        You could have said that to the person complaining about 'weak sauce' in the first place. Or you could have applied it to my previous comment* instead of quibbling. It's a two-way street. * https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27756583 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27756583

        I only just realized you aren't even the person who posted it. Let's drop this thread, if he has a problem with me editing it, that's on him to say; I thought you were him considering how deep this got. Here's the underlying: he responded late, it's his job to refresh, that's not etiquette, it's how the site functions.
