I stopped contributing to stackoverflow, but it's not declining

SO mod on comments:

"You should expect comments to get deleted.

If they are oh-so-important, they should get rolled into the post they are commenting on. At which point they are obsolete."

So, your problem, clearly, is that you think your "thank you" is "oh so important." If your ego wasn't so big, you'd get that.

Just pointing out that one of the things the parent says gives him joy on stack-overflow is actually "not allowed".

I don't have "a problem".

I use stackoverflow quite productively, appreciate its utility, and help folks out with answers when I can. I've gotten acclimated to the rudeness but I wish it were a nicer place.... more skeet less passant.

I was sarcastically criticizing the SO mod's comment, not actually claiming you have a problem.
