Out of curiosity, how is is that you see these comments?

HN has a few non-public mods, so probably one pings him if he doesn't find it himself.

But I personally prefer the explanation that dang is omniscient ;)

s/explanation/truth,/ ;)

That time I just saw it while browsing the thread. There's no systematic way. But if you want to be sure we see something, you can always email hn@ycombinator.com.

Thanks!
