Yeah, I hear you but its what the members want to do. On top of that, stuff gets voted up. So, they doubly want to do this. Fair enough, IMHO. Im assuming that for some reason you and I don't know, there is a particular connection or kinship of some sort. Probably a sort of latent thing. It has certainly struck a chord.
Anyway, like most things, everyone will move on. And as shit and crass as this sounds, forget. All this talk of petitions and what not, will amount to nothing, and people will drone back to normal life, condoning those who really don't have their best interests at heart. Oh look, great bloke death. Cry, cry. Then back to: where's the next dollar? Business as usual. That's for me is the worse bit. The insincerity of it all.
Pissed? Hope so.
Now, any one reading this, if you down vote me, be damned sure I am wrong. Be really sure.
Look, if every down vote, or up vote, is a person with an new or slightly more focused desire to put their country right in this guy's memory, then good. Prove this arrogant mouth wrong. Please, prove me wrong.
Just thinking about it, look at all the tributes. Even from the UK I recognise many of the names. Cant you all get together on this? Looks like a powerful or influential group to me.

I suspect most HNers are not affiliated with YC and even though HN and YC are clearly connected, I view HN more like a better startup subreddit. To me, at least, the link matters little to back the reason. Any and all reason of why Aaron is on the front page, bears minor influence because of his association with HN. The part that does, is merely a reflection of being associated with anything people deem an accomplishment
