Seeing the reaction on Hacker News, I think it's fair to say that Aaron had a huge amount of support and following that he might not even have been aware of himself. Life and surroundings can become very tough when people are up against seemingly insurmountable odds, but I think it's worth keeping faith that there are enough likeminded souls out there, even if it's hard to keep in touch with them all - Aaron and Ilya won't be forgotten.
