If dang gets overwhelmed with comments here (there are a lot) you can always email directly to [email protected] ideally from your email used to register here and ask to be returned to normal after acknowledging dumb comments.

I was rate limited for several months until in conversation with dang about an entirely different matter I mentioned that I'd reply in more detail but for the matter of being rate limited.

I guess that triggered a manual look at my comment history and I was upgraded to "mostly harmless".

I don't expect that to always work as not every reply to comments will get read.
