What a great find! I guess back then, they didn't think too much about the "rights" for a fragment of code lifted from a magazine. I don't think movie studios would do this today.

  i looked at your tumblr and dont see any discussion of copyrights or attribution. I thought that's what parent was talking about. Maybe i missed it on your site -- i didn't read the entire blog.

  Did the IPs match or something? How did you know it was multiple accounts?

    Unfortunately I can't talk about the details of that without making it easier for people to break the rules. Sorry to disappoint.

      You should make a biography about what it took [you] to moderate HN once this site blows over, then you can just spill anything, man. Insert Deity; I guess this is hard work; or some wayfaring good algorithms. Thanks man. I'll troll less, knowing how much dung (huh) you're in daily. Please write the tricks once HN goes under or whatever.

        I appreciate that! also, I don't think I've seen that inflection of dang before. It would be nice if HN continued beyond all of us, though. Sounds grandiose and dumb, but why not? There's already a rich archive (a dozen years' worth and counting) and the site has certain properties that prevent it from growing too much. Maybe eventually we (or our successors) will come up with an anti-abuse system that makes the current one obsolete and then we can publish the old one and HN can have a retro thread about it, like about 1980s Lisp AI programs.

        > a retro thread about it, like about 1980s Lisp AI programs LOL. Be careful what you wish for...

        Aren't those good threads? PAIP is highly regarded around here, for example.
