We try to, and often users help by, posting links to the previous discussions in the thread. But there isn't enough time to do that in all of them.

In this case, you can see from https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... that there had been a lot of submissions, and from https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... the ones that got comments.

Of those, >>39165981 had been just a few days earlier. And it turns out that there actually was a link to it in the later thread: >>39204186 , but this comment was flagkilled, probably because of the personal swipe in it. (You can still see it but only if you turn on 'showdead' in your profile.)

I could go on! because there's endless detail one can go into about these calls. But you "didn't necessarily want to dissect every little story" :)

Ahh, that would explain it. Showdead is off on my account and I guess I didn't find every result on my end. That's a shame. But thank you!

Yeah, i imagine if I went down every tiny rabbit hole it'd be a full time job. I'll leave that to the professionals haha.
