Thank you, dang. Your forum is the best one on the internet, and it's in no small part thanks to your moderation efforts.

I like that, this really is Dan's forum by now. Maybe YC should gift wrap it and make it a nice Christmas present.

I was going to say, isn't "(I'm a mod here)" kind of an understatement? Oida, he has a pager for it.

Is "oida" here a Greek word or a typo or something else?

The secret to HN is to read it long enough to realize "dang" is a moderator (used to be the moderator).

Then you can unlock posting when you realize it's "dan g" not "darn it, dang".
