If you had cut the ridiculous and mean first sentence out of this comment it would have been fine, but then, as you know, nobody would have cared about it, because you'd have been saying nothing everyone else hadn't already been saying.

Why do you copyright your comments?
flippant answer—tptacek doesn't "copyright" anything. in territories that recognize the Berne convetion of 1989, everything created that meats the standards for copyright is protected by copyright. you can't "copyright" something—something either is, or isn't protected by copyright. IANAL, but as tptacek's comments are tangible forms of creative works, they are trivially protected by copyright
less flippant answer—because he's probably had problems with people stealing his answers and posting them on other forums or similar issues.
A minor nit, from his profile at https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=tptacek
