Hi Dan,
You have my most humble apologies!
I will stop doing this...
But, you should understand WHY I was doing this...
Oftentimes, when I read articles on the web from articles on HN, I take a set of notes.
My own notes; a set of notes which I believe cut to the core points of an article without significant information loss; that is, when I have these notes, I typically would read them prior to re-reading an entire article -- when revisiting old favorite articles at some point in the future...
You see, while HN offers users the ability to store interesting links/URLs as "favorites" -- it does not (at least to the best of my knowledge, and please correct me if I am wrong!) offer the ability for users to
attach their own personal notes to their favorite articles
...short of that note being a public comment.
Is there any way on HN that I can attach my own personal set of notes to URLs that I like, that I favorite, on HN?
?
And, if not, would you consider passing the request for that functionality on to the appropriate HN administrative structure, and if so, if they approve of it, on to the HN software team?
If that functionality isn't there, then I think a lot of users, like me, could benefit from it -- and if it is there, then I really don't understand how to use it -- could you/would you -- help me out there?
?

- dang 5y agoWe can consider adding such a feature, but I can't promise anything about when it would be ready. In the meantime please don't use comments for this; I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but it's really important to keep comments for public discussion.
