'dang, the moderator on this thread.

Central Illinois is a big, flat, boring, methamphetamized prairie too, but I'd still rather live in Chicago than on either coast. Most places you could think of wanting to live are surrounded by boring places.




Are they? Would have assumed SF. Didn't think YCombinator had any presence in Canada. I thought dang was a shared account used by multiple moderators as well.


No, 'dang is Dan Gackle. There are two public moderators, 'dang and 'sctb (Scott "Certificate Transparency" Bell).


Oh cool. Dan is seriously committed, he's almost omnipotent lol.


No, he just transcends spacetime like the prairies whence he hails.
