I know your comment is well intentioned but it still rubs me the wrong way so I apologize if I offend you in any way since that is not really my point.
It feels wrong to tell the web master that he should modify the website to pay tribute to somebody you think is important (whether true or not I'm not sure it is really relevant). Especially considering that I myself do not know who the guy is and yet I've been in the field for 10 years (call me stupid).
The whole comment feels quite presumptuous. Honoring Aaron Swartz seemed like a no brainer but other than that is it really OK to put PG on the spot. What happens if he decides not to do it, will you think of him badly?
- lotharbot 13y agoIn my experience, whenever a death in the industry makes the frontpage of HN, the black banner has come out. I don't think it's terribly presumptuous to bring it up. I won't hold any ill will toward pg or the rest of the HN mods if they decide he wasn't significant enough or close enough to the HN community or whatever.
- coldtea 13y agoYou are over-thinking it.
- 77887 13y agoThat is funny. I've been told many times that I over think stuff. Turns out a lot of time it is true and it probably is this time.
