Contrary to what you may have unwittingly assumed, @mentioning Dang doesn't summon him. Send an email to hn@ycombinator.com if you want something corrected.

That should be a feature request. Every time someone mentions @dang, his pager will go off and his belt will vibrate.

I wouldn’t be shocked if Dan had a script/feature to let him quickly review comments where his handle is mentioned. But I thought the HN syntax was more often 'dang than @dang.

I wonder if he can hear us.
