      I genuinely try to add to the conversation whenever I comment and avoid “this” style comments. I don’t necessarily do a great job based on my comment history.

      But I have to say … This comment was brilliant.

        My guess is the parent comment didn’t have markdown list formatting and improper newline formatting at first, so it appeared as on line for a bit before the commenter edited it, but he just responded snarkily instead of being like “hey your markdown formatting borked here”

          I agree with your guess, and while you say snarkily, I read it as a light hearted jab at the absurdity of the situation.

          Relaying meaning, intent and emotion over text is hard.

              Can’t win them all I suppose! Had a similar thing happen to me recently, and trying to add nuance or explain yourself is usually frowned on for some reason, so it’s best to just move on. Hope your holidays are treating you well!

        Sounds like quite the uncommon parsing bug.

        Like maybe 1 in 1

        and

        and
