@dang could we please unflag this? If the original message stayed up and was not flagged, this should remain too.

Dumb question: does the @ actually do anything on HN?

no

No, and mods have indicated that email is better IIRC.

No; it's just that "dang" it's also a word in English, so the "@" is there to disambiguate.
