- DoofusOfDeath 7y agoThanks for the summary. I appreciate the craft of this sort of long-form writing, but I also want a quick summary to know if it's worth investing the time to read.
- magic_beans 7y agoAgreed. The article takes way too long to get to the point. A blurb at the top would have been helpful.

- evrydayhustling 7y agoYeah it's a great article, but on HN at least the headline should be something like "Cremation scam returns fake remains and sells body"
