> But I am free to be curious and ask the author why he choose it They chose it because the discussion is about trigraphs. It is not a particularly surprising choice to talk about trigraphs in that context. > There is no HN rule that says that I cannot be curious and asks a question that arised from a thread but it is not connected to that! I did not write that you did not follow HN rules, just that your question was very strange in the context. I did not downvote you, but I understand why some people did. Your question was a bit passive agressive, even if you did not mean it.
