Minor point: I'm pretty sure that HN comments cannot be deleted/edited after about an hour. Very different from most web forums in this regard, and worth keeping in mind when digging into past discussions! Maybe the rules are different for a superuser like tptacek here with lots of karma, but I doubt it.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Nobody can go back and delete comments the way that person is claiming. What a weird thing for him to have said.

    I can't help but notice that said other person's profile claims "out of here"; and before this thread, had not commented since October 2024 — in that case also to get in an extended political argument with you specifically. That's quite a grudge to hold.

    Eh, that part's not so weird. Not weird to forget that HN is weird in this particular way. I just wanted to clarify it for myself & for anyone reading.
