Who's Dan?

I probably seem like I really hate Calgary but I don't... I was talking about the praries at large and Calgary is just one city.

I mean they made a knock-off CN Tower out of spite but I won't hold it against them... :P

In my growing-up-in-the-prairie attitude, dislike of prairie life, particularly if there are mountains visible off to the west, may reflect a short attention span and chronic cultural overstimulation.

'dang, the moderator on this thread.

Central Illinois is a big, flat, boring, methamphetamized prairie too, but I'd still rather live in Chicago than on either coast. Most places you could think of wanting to live are surrounded by boring places.

Are they? Would have assumed SF. Didn't think YCombinator had any presence in Canada. I thought dang was a shared account used by multiple moderators as well.

No, 'dang is Dan Gackle. There are two public moderators, 'dang and 'sctb (Scott "Certificate Transparency" Bell).

No, he just transcends spacetime like the prairies whence he hails.
