Unfortunately the original comment is now flagged and deleted it seems, so I guess I will never know what his/her snark was. Also I would be scared to comment any of my own comments here, because I've had some pretty legit questions about stories seen my own comments being flagged, so I have some trust issues with thr moderators here. Ever since I've had my own pretty legit comments flagged on HN, in ways that seem rather unfair, I can't help but wonder what I am missing when I see someone else's comment flagged and deleted here.
Not deleted just [flagged] [dead] and invisble with default user preferences.
You can always choose to enable your showdead: YES option in your preferences.

That's almost always other users that [flag] your comments, often for being off topic, non serious, derogatory, in bad faith, etc in the opinion of other users .. if several users flag then it becomes marked as flagged and several more make it dead (numbers can vary and some users have the power granted to flag comments and see them go straight to dead).
