Letters of Note is a fantastic site, and there are several other amusing/interesting ones on there despite the site's youth.
- slice 17y agoMaybe there should be a mechanism that punishes / fines users who post links to stolen content and marks / blocks such sites.
- hernan7 17y agoIn this case it seems the mis-attribution was unintentional.
- spencerfry 17y agoJust noticed this on Hacker News. It's been a busy day at the office, so haven't had a chance to see this post until now. I actually curate Burstoid as a side not-for-profit project. I did attribute it to the source swiss-miss.com where I saw it earlier today in my feed reader. Never saw the original site, because she didn't link to it -- it looks as if she was pointed to it via Twitter. Regardless, it's a neat letter and I'm glad someone submitted it to Hacker News for all to see.
- Pahalial 17y agoSorry, didn't really mean to imply it was intentional, i know these things get lost 'in the tubes' (although I did actually miss the source tagging the first time) - regardless, I stand by my post in support of Letters of note!
- spencerfry 17y agoS'all good. :) Definitely not intentional, though. Also, added a link back to them.
