Unfortunately those don't contain the specific issues the OP mentioned.
The link is in reference to "I found scans of his section on archive.org, including the issue where he announces the contest, but I couldn't find my particular contribution".
Perhaps they don't want to mark out the OP as "special" to the resulting conversation, but it would help make the situation here clearer.

if (opUsername) {
const opHighlight = document.createElement('style');
opHighlight.textContent = `

span.subline a.hnuser[href="${opUsername}"],
/* Comment header username */
span.comhead a.hnuser[href="${opUsername}"] {

`;
document.head.appendChild(opHighlight);
}
})();I'm sending this thread to the admins as a feature request.
