  For future reference: [dupe]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39440354 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39440354 (optionally tagging dang depending on the severity) That's all that's necessary. Mods here do have the ability to combine and collapse comment threads into the larger post, so this is a fixable issue on HN.

    > (optionally tagging dang depending on the severity) There's no such thing as tagging anyone on HN; if you want to get mod attention, there's an email address listed at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

      Thanks, that's good to know. I didn't think those @ tags did much, but there's so many hidden features of HN that I can never be truly sure.

        I always assumed dang has a filter for his name, bec he’s usually pretty prompt in responding.
