  You're right, of course, but that one got hit by the flamewar detector (kind of correctly, unfortunately), which sank the thread. There's obviously community interest in this story, so I think we'll leave the current thread up and merge the comments hither. As compensation for luu (surely one of the best HN submitters of all time) I've put this one in the second-chance pool, which will give it a random placement on the front page: Birth Order (1999) [pdf] - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37532299 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37532299 - Sept 2023 (1 comment) If anyone wants to read a long rabbit-hole description of how we handle these cases, I wrote one for some reason a couple weekends ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37364619 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37364619
