Yes, yes I did. I'm not even sure I can blame that on autocorrect. EDIT: As an aside, I didn't realize there's no strikethrough option for text on HN. For anyone else who wants to hide their shame without ninja editing, I found this site which does the same in unicode: https://yaytext.com/strike/ https://yaytext.com/strike/

"Trolling: Carefully and systematically search an area for something." I think your subconscious did just fine.

  It's polite, pedantic, and incredibly useful digressions like this which keep me coming back to HN. I had no idea this homonym could describe two separate actions (i.e. casting a broad net to grab whatever is in the path vs. a systematic search covering a specified area) that both still work perfectly to describe how I interact with the Internet Archive. I'd say it was intentional, but that'd be a bald-faced lie.
