Thanks for the heads up. I went back and pressed submit several times because in my incognito window my comment didn't show up. (I was trying to post while noprocrast was on, didn't expect something I wrote to hit HN). I wonder now what I should do to not become dead anymore? I deleted the superfluous comments, hopefully that's enough. I'll look up what it means to be dead on HN.

Deleting those posts seems to have worked. I can now see your previously elided comments with my "showdead" set to on.

Your account is fine; it isn't and was never "dead". The system just kills duplicate comments.
