Thanks dang!

You've helped keep HN readable, corrected countless title and link errors, and prevented heated discussions from devolving into fights.

I also am super thankful for your help getting my "Show HN" post to the front page.

We all appreciate you.

TIL it's "Dan G" and not the Chinese surname "Dang" that I'd always assumed.

Also surprised to learned that back then, but it's too late I already got used in reading it as "dang"

In my head it's always been "dang" as in rhymes with "clang". dan+g is just the etymology.
