Oh sorry, I totally missed that! Your use of quotation marks was just fine. I thought you were being snarky (as people sometimes do) and apologize for making the wrong assumption.

> Also you removed/downvoted my request that asked posters to identify regions they are hiring from

Do you mean https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45095800? I didn't remove or downvote it. I did detach it from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45095292 because it seemed to be a general comment that belonged at the top level, rather than a response to a particular job ad.

Well it applied to the Stockholm post mentioned. Some posts do mention it, others don't. I replied to a don't.

Wouldn't mind my post being moved to the "top" level, but in reality it means buried at the bottom. Especially since my account is a second-class citizen for some reason. Probably I had a bad day several years ago. :-/
