>You'll never hear the words "do the needful" or "prepone" or, my most hated "kindly revert back"!

Hahaha guilty as charged, and now I'm outside the HN editing limits. That's what happens when you try to type at the speed of thought. Serves me right, I guess.

I wouldn't get too concerned over throw-away accounts getting their knickers in a twist over a throw-away line in an otherwise apt comment.

This isn't a throwaway. I've been lurking HN for a while and never felt the need to comment before now. In retrospect that was a bit silly since OP has been pretty nice in all of their follow up comments. I still feel that while their criticisms are generally valid, they're a bit harsh.
