I'm sorry. I'm not yet used to citing on this platform.

Don't worry, it's okay. It sounded harsher than I intended ;) Welcome to HN!

HN needs to have a proper way to do quotes. > doesn't indent beyond the first line once word-wrapped, | looks cute but is confusing, code-blocks suck, etc.

I tend to use italics (denoted by asterisks) for quotes.

I never wanted to be famous. I only wanted to be great.
