Coincidental, but I haven't used that search engine in months (maybe over a year) until today, and now it's on the front page. Freaky!

It's pretty good. You appreciate it more when you try to use Reddit's!

If you're looking for instances of "Please don't" you should enclose that in double quotes:

Thanks, that evaded me. The discontinuous {please, don't} seems to catch a bit more, though that wasn't my direct intention. It's just that if a mod's comment has both words, it's probably expressing the same thing.

Please don't post corrections or instructions in the "please don't" thread unless it's in the form of a please-don't.

Indeed, that's not the kind of discussion we want to foster here on HN.

Big thanks to you both Tom & Dan, this community has always felt friendly to me - even when someone was rude to me once someone else stepped in: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43980034

Hope we have many more years of this greatness.
