Ask HN: DMs on HN
HN prevents replying to posts / comments that are "too old".
This means if I have a question for a user based on a comment they wrote 2 months ago, there's no way for me to get their attention unless they have a post / comment that is not "too old".
If they don't have anything like that, I'm out of luck. If they do, I'm still breaking forum etiquette by responding to their new post / comment with something unrelated.
Has there has been discussion previously on whether DMing other HN users is a feature that the community wants?
