Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

In this case, I think GP is suggesting this rises above the level of a tangential annoyance.

Also HN doesn't need 11 month old volunteer mods.

a) ok whippersnapper, b) new community members have the most energy. I’m not actually sure there’s much need for volunteer mods on HN tbh, but the best volunteers are often the newest folks around.

Well wagging the same finger twice in the same comment section on the same point is overenergetic in my book.

At least the second time it should have become obvious that the comments were voicing a common response of visitors to the site, so were constructive rather than nitpicking.

It’s tangential, because it’s not about the information posted.
