Crossed wires? I was replying to noio, not you. Your first post was quite clear enough. For what it's worth, I think it's quite a good idea.
Since my entire contribution to this thread seems to be to gently correct people who did not read the comment they're replying to carefully enough (a regrettably frequent occurrence I'm sure I'm guilty of myself from time to time), I would like to take this opportunity to exhort the HN community to please make it a habit to reread and attempt to a understand a comment before replying. It's a luxury we don't have in spoken conversation, so let's make it count here.
Also, by the way, you can edit posts; it's better to do this than clutter up the thread by replying to yourself.
