Ask HN: Why there is asterisk with my post?

To show it is yours, and to replace up/down vote (you weren't planning to do either of those I hope).

Thanks for the info.

Asteroid?

OP is probably referring to their first submission here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36184246

Maybe asterisk was meant? Anyway, I suppose is was declared dead as its headline sounds quite click-baity and OP is a quite fresh HN account.

I've changed it to asterisk. Yeah I'm new to HN. Thanks for the info.

Spelling Mistake. I've changed it to asterisk. Thanks.
