Great TL;DR. Is that algorithmically generated or by a human?

  It's crowd-sourced from actual people using a browser extension. http://tldr.io/what-is-tldr http://tldr.io/what-is-tldr (see how I gave you a tl;dr of the link explaining how the tl;dr is generated?)

    Is there a tl;dr page for that page? :)

      Actually, there is: http://tldr.io/tldrs/50509fb5e37267fc34000007/tl-dr-what-is-it http://tldr.io/tldrs/50509fb5e37267fc34000007/tl-dr-what-is-... But this page is a bit outdated, this is what we use now: http://tldr.io/tldrs/514d1c2ec02bf6ba46001aba/more-on-the-tldr-io-extension http://tldr.io/tldrs/514d1c2ec02bf6ba46001aba/more-on-the-tl...

  So you don't mind people butchering your words? I'd be offended if someone created a TL;DR of one of my posts...

    tl;dr: Summarizing offends me

      You see? When you put it that way it sounds stupid; otherwise it has beautiful words like "butchering" that convey additional feelings about the subject :)
