- avik 12y agoHaha, yeah Hacker News didn't treat me well yesterday, so I'm trying to go through questions now and reply to them. :) Thanks for noticing!
- dang 12y agoIf you see "[dupe]" on a dead comment you can be sure that that is why it was killed. The problem was that there were two identical comments, the software killed one as a dupe, and avik deleted the other one. The software tries to fix this very scenario—it normally would have automatically unkilled the remaining member of the pair. But there are some corner cases where that doesn't work, and avik seems to have outsmarted it. We'll take a look and try to fix the fix.
