Hacker News Reader

Is it me or is it weird to say "thanks for the cross-post" for something written by Dennis Ritchie?

You are the second person bringing up DR in this post for reasons having nothing to do with DR himself.

The "post" part is about who posted it to HN, not about who wrote the article.

As in thanks for linking it to hacker news, because I didnt after finding the article last night.

I read this article a few years ago, does that entitle me to recognition? Obviously not. It just struck me as taking credit for non-accomplishments.

What are you even talking about? I was thanking the poster for doing something I didnt do myself. This is the x-post I was talking about.

I am not seeking any sort of recognition for the post whatsoever.
