I'm curious, do you keep a list of old threads for popular topics manually, or do you just use the search function on the fly?

View on HN

There used to be someone on Reddit who knew every scene and episode of The Simpsons and would respond to every comment he was called into to regurgitate his knowledge, so while your comment might be a bit over the top, I'm sure it's not super far from the truth!

@dang, if you see this: Can you fix this for me? It's hard to be a part of the discussion here with this type of thing: "You're posting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks." (I can reply to email sent to the one in my profile for verification, I can't seem to originate emails from there, though, as it's a Fastmail "masked email".)

I use HN Search on the fly but have a bunch of keyboard shortcuts in a browser extension to make it faster. Past explanations here if anyone cares: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28441182.
