My apologies, I didn't see your other reply before I deleted and reposted the comment. I thought I'd replied to the post and not the comment, so I deleted and reposted, did not realise you had detached it.
I'm sorry for posting low quality comments and won't do it again.
It actually just crossed my mind that it might have been an innocent mistake and I came back to the thread with the thought of editing my comment. Sorry for assuming the worst of you! (It's a bias I try not to fall into, but still do.)
It's okay, was a very reasonable assumption! I'll make sure I comment on HN appropriately in the future.
