Off-topic: @dang, was the title automatically stripped of a leading "This"?
Off-topic^2: @dang, If you're reading this, what is the proper way of notifying you of minor stuff like this (if at all)? And how exactly do you see these comments? Do you just read ALL comments, or is there a system that detects mentions or stuff like that?
- newbamboo 5y agoDang does not exist.
- timerol 5y agoEmailing HN moderators is the best way to reach (without loss of generality) dang
- 8bitsrule 5y agoSometimes the HN algo will strip what it thinks is non-essential leading words from submissions. When it does that, the contributor can edit the title to replace it ... and the algo won't argue.
- smugma 5y agoWould be good if algo were tweaked to keep the opening "This" if the title ends in "Does Not Exist".
