Linking to the HN front page as a reference won't be of much use, even only a few hours from now.
- ColinWright 9y agoThe link to the front page is the reference to Hacker News in general, not to this specific item. I never intended to link to the specific reference, although I can see why people might think it's relevant. I mentioned the person with a link to their profile, I linked to the forum in general, and I quoted/paraphrased the relevant information. I wouldn't think anything more was needed.
- Stratoscope 9y agoI certainly wasn't offended by not having a link to the specific comment. Heck, I didn't even expect a mention of my nom de bit. I was just happy to be able to help you make a fun story even more fun! ◄ TOO COOL TO CARE ABOUT LINKS ◄ COOL TO CARE ABOUT LINKS ◄ CARE ABOUT LINKS ◄ LINKS
- ColinWright 9y agoI've actually updated the page to make the references clearer and more specific. > I certainly wasn't offended by not having a link to the specific comment. “It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” ― Harry Truman Long may you accomplish many things, and I hope the credit sticks at least occasionally.
