You probably meant to respond to someone else, I have made no such claim.

You're not responding to the comment you think you're responding to.

crooked-v Oct 15, 2019 View on HN

That's not what the comment you're responding to said.

philh Oct 26, 2015 View on HN

You seem to be replying to a comment which has very little in common with the one I wrote.

albedoa Aug 6, 2024 View on HN

It is not clear that you understand the comment you are replying to.

Tainnor Jan 17, 2025 View on HN

You seem to be arguing some point completely unrelated to what I was responding to.

maxerickson Oct 17, 2020 View on HN

I don't understand what part of my comment you are responding to.

latexr Nov 13, 2023 View on HN

You’re arguing against a point I did not make. Seems like you wanted to respond to one of the other replies.

madeofpalk Dec 3, 2022 View on HN

You seen to be responding to a different point than that which was made.

I don’t think this addresses the comment you’re replying to.
