You can upvote a story an it will appear under "saved stories" when you click on your profile. You commenting to save stories for you is spamming everyone else. So yes, please stop.

It's an abuse of HN threads. Comments here are supposed to be substantive.

if you upvote something it'll show up in the list at https://news.ycombinator.com/saved?id=pitt1980. So just upvote things that catch your eye.

Sure, it's useful to you, but it adds to the clutter that hundreds and thousands of others must wade through.

You could just bookmark the thread...

thanks, I hadn't noticed that feature before

innovative solution. I'm fine with it.
