If what 'samstave is looking for is feedback from the mods, they should do as the guidelines ask and email hn@. If they're looking for feedback from the HN community, they should address the community. There are plenty of Ask HNs about that. 'samstave by their own admission has been a member of HN for over 15 years, and should be well accustomed to the guidelines and expected behavior.
The guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) ask us
* Please don't post on HN to ask or tell us something. Send it to hn@ycombinator.com.
* Please don't use uppercase for emphasis. If you want to emphasize a word or phrase, put *asterisks* around it and it will get italicized.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epanorthosis
> An epanorthosis is a figure of speech that signifies emphatic word replacement. "Thousands, no, millions!" is a stock example. Epanorthosis as immediate and emphatic self-correction often follows a Freudian slip (either accidental or deliberate).
> A timeshare (sometimes called vacation ownership) is a property with a divided form of ownership or use rights. These properties are typically resort condominium units, in which multiple parties hold rights to use the property, and each owner of the same accommodation is allotted their period of time. Units may be sold as a partial ownership, lease, or "right to use", in which case the latter holds no claim to ownership of the property. The ownership of timeshare programs is varied, and has been changing over the decades.
Time dilation, recency bias, and all that. Anything that happened before you were born is all history, right?
I think that’s exactly the point he’s making. To phrase it another way, open source is orthogonal to the relationship between the stewards and the community.

The agency also manages 4,500 miles (7,200 km) of National Scenic, National Historic and National Recreation Trails, as well as thousands of miles of multiple use trails used by motorcyclists, hikers, equestrians, and mountain bikers.[61] In 2013, BLM lands received an estimated 61.7 million recreational visitors. Over 99% of BLM-managed lands are open to hunting, recreational shooting opportunities, and fishing."
Time is money, and it's expensive to pay people to mess with things if they don't have to.

From my experience, copying and pasting comments from one thread to another isn't how HN is expected to be used. If there's an issue, email the mods via the Contact link in the footer. They're often busy (as they're few in number), so they may not respond immediately, but they do respond.
