As a long time HN reader, you should know that the condescending "super sleuth" mention was unecessary. It should also be apparent that your highly defensive comment with a very new account would raise eyebrows. The "hope this helps" ending also comes off as passive-aggressive. We can do better.
The condescension and passive-aggression was fully intentional and really the only way to respond to such an asinine comment. Hope THIS helps; I could do better. Next time perhaps active aggression will be called for?

Please don't make posts like this to HN.
The way to respond to an asinine comment, if you must respond, is to politely refute it.
