Railbikes only go on tracks no longer used for regular traffic.

Sorry for the offtopicness but we don't have your email. I just saw https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26721647. Since your comments have mostly been fine since we banned you (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26649016), I'd be happy to reinstate your account. However, I think the username is a bit too trollish. It's not extreme of course, but the audience here is large enough that even minor trollishness can cause major weirdness. If you want to pick a different username, we can change it for you and unban the account.

Thank you. How do I pick a different username?

It's best to email hn@ycombinator.com but if you really don't want to do that you can just reply here.

Ok dang, please reinstate me. :)

And thanks for going above and beyond.

Happy to reinstate you but we need you to pick a different username first!

I've restored your recent comments which are fine for HN but I don't want to unban you without renaming the account because then I'll forget that we still need to do that.
