ideally it should be in the submitted title, if not often someone will post it as above .. and later a mod might add it.
No biggie, as they say.
- jacquesm 9mo agoOf course I was completely unaware of that...
- defrost 9mo agoYeah, TBH, I figured you knew ... I'm juggling a few things and probably put this general note in where it wasn't needed. Pax.
- jacquesm 9mo agoNP, I considered adding it but then again, I know HN tends to interpret that as 'old news' and in this case it is anything but. The rules are there for a reason, even so these are strange times and I figure the more people are aware of this the better. I could have updated the post date but I would have considered that cheating so I purposefully posted it as it was but left out the date. But don't worry, it'll get flagged off the homepage soon enough because way too many people find this sort of thing uncomfortable.
