Every single post on HN (HP) is about Aaron Swartz

  The odd thing is I was on reddit today and didn't even hear of his passing until leaving and visiting another site. There are tons of stories about it posted there but none of them are on the overall front page nor on the front pages of any of my usual subreddits (proggit has a link to his "hit by a truck" post at the top but I had already read it and didn't understand why it was reposted until after).

  I think the coverage might be even worse than when Jobs died.

    I wouldn't say that. It's not all over the news, and most people don't know about it.

  I don't mean to be crass but does HN really need to become saturated with so much similar posts? E.g i was seeing lots of tributes flood in, multiple stories on how Swartz was innocent etc. Why can't there be 1 or 2 posts?
