i wrote it at a bus stop after work in London, nothing snarky intended.
ive used bullet points A LOT in many comments over the years.
it used to be “citation needed” back in the day, so i still supply them.
Unfortunately, there's a sense in which it still makes no difference because the comment fits the flamewar-starting pattern whether you were posting in that spirit or not. But I would have phrased my reply differently if I'd read you more precisely.
okay... looked. you seem to be someone who wants to and is entrusted with policing HN.
So I will say, that i did not intend as a snark at all, more light hearted banter.
if you check my posting history you will find a track record of formatting my posts similar to this.
i did not have a stick-it-to-the-english pamphlet lying around that i cut n pasted. its all stuff that ive actually come across.
and it did add to the article as far as i can tell
