in the comment? how many people would read his comment versus the subject line?

Also the fact that he can fundamentally change what a user posts and then choose whether or not to disclose it in comment section is a flaw.

I wholeheartedly disagreed until I saw your point (I think). The post still has your name beside it and you disagree with someone changing your words. While I don't find it a big deal with this, I kinda agree in spirit. Maybe the poster name should be changed too. However, folks would then be upset about not getting their sweet, sweet karma.

ok. what did you disagree with if not my point? I do not care in the least bit about HN's karma

Entitlement is a flaw.

[dangrossman]

That's how it's always worked here on HN.

[ugwigr]

does not mean it is right

[ugwigr]

why would i want HN to hold my hand?
