To amplify: they really do. I've got my beefs with HN moderation on occasion, but neither 'dang nor 'sctb have ever failed to respond to an email with a response, and a thoughtful one if it's a topic that needs one.

This is not correct. I have sent many which have gone unanswered. I can show them if you'd like.
Dan answers if he likes you. It's as simple as that. If he doesn't, he either filters your emails and never sees them, or refuses to answer them.
You are one data point. Please don't extrapolate it to those of us who have tried for months to get answers to specific questions.
You've sent us hundreds of emails using many accounts. We responded to all of them until it became obvious that it was only energizing the problem, and even then never stopped responding completely. I doubt there has ever been a case of forum moderators treating a user with greater patience. It isn't infinite though.
Since you won't stop posting abusive and misleading comments to HN, we're not going to unban you.
