Long ago, under a different account, I emailed dang about removing some comment content that became too identifying only years after the comments in question. He did so and was very gracious about it. dang, you're cool af and you make HN a great place!
- krapp 3y agoYou're being very obsequious about having to personally get approval from a moderator to do on your behalf something every other forum lets you do on your own by default.

- code_biologist 3y agoOur ancestor commenter Qwertious wants a maximally immutable comment history and you advocate a maximally mutable comment history. Who's right? There's a wide range of acceptable answers. Don't participate in a forum if you don't like their policy. Measured by overall forum quality HN has a decent enough approach.
