- DoreenMichele 8y agoPerhaps time to add it to the FAQ.
- dang 8y agoIt certainly is a frequently asked question. But spelling everything out is against the spirit of the site. On HN it's good for readers to have to work a little, and the audience is smart enough to figure things out.

- lsr_ssri 8y agoIt's for the late Paul Allen RIP. Should've known, sorry all.
- BLKNSLVR 8y agoI'm relatively new to HN, and as such I hadn't encountered the black line before. Thanks for asking the question so that noobs like me can find out the answer.
