Black Horizontal Line on HN

Just noticed the black horizontal line right on top of Hacker News page. Not sure what this signifies to the community? Update: Screen capture of HN: http://imgur.com/lwnjCuD

HN does this when a prominent tech person dies. The story will be on the front page. In this case, it was Chuck Thacker.

  It's a sign of mourning for a prominent tech personality's death (in this case Chuck Thacker, a prominent computer scientist that worked at Xerox Park and Microsoft).

    May be it should include a message so that more people empathize with the purpose.
