It's worse formatted than dang's stuff, but ya tried

Given the opportunity to offer up a better template ya copped out with a snide comment and didn't even try.

  • I was on mobile and didn't want to type out all that. An example (dang usually posts comments like this on popular submissions):

    Related:

    Post title - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=XXXXXXXXX (date) | XX comments

    in order by date.

    Such a comment provides useful information on previous discussions (date posted, amount of comments). Your comment seemed like it was simply calling out the fact that this link was reposted a few times, which is unhelpful.

    Apologies for being snide in my original comment.
