Thanks. Moderating HN has taught me that most of what looks like trolling is unintentional.

Most of us consider our comments to be individual statements; we don't think of them as roots of the next possible subthread. But that's actually what matters for discussion quality.



That's a really good point I'd never considered.

It's very cool that on HN people sensibly and helpfully debated what I'd intended to say. Means I learn.
