I did a s/Vanta/you/ on this comment as part of trying to reduce the offtopic noise about the name. (More at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44161041 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44161041 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44161144 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44161144.) I hope that's ok with you! The alternative would be to move it under https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44161021 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44161021, but it's a really nice comment so I don't want to do that.

  Much appreciated, thank you! I'll also print and frame my first dang email :) It's a bit of a pity that the original description, which my comment refers to, is now gone.

    Not gone, just hidden under the rug :)

Thank you for this — I had read Linus' first post before and never imagined my tiny tool would be compared to something with that kind of legacy. I'm just an undergrad student in China (not even CS major, unfortunately), and this little project was my way of saying thanks — to the schools that stood up bravely. Really appreciate your kind words. Let’s see what comes next. :)
