The list has some questionable entries even before you get to #5. At that point it just seems comical. But I could be wrong, of course.
- unalone 17y agoAnd the discussion thread, in which I ask this question for the first of many times: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=542291 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=542291 Half a year ago, jeez. It feels much longer ago than that. It's one of those cyclical HN debates that I always feel compelled to say my line in. Kind of like the Metafilter threads where certain users always have to say certain lines.
- johnnybgoode 17y agoYeah, it's a puzzle. But then, of the five entries, I think only one really belongs there. (No prize for guessing which one...)

- pg 17y agoIn the first paragraph I explained the criterion I used to make the list. It's just the 5 founders who've influenced me the most.
- johnnybgoode 17y agoRight, I saw that. That's why I didn't just call the list wrong outright. But I do wonder why the founders on that list influenced you more than all the others.
