Hey guys, I understand how amazing of a person Steve Jobs was -- visionary, genius, marketing prodigy, etc... I will never discount the amount of influence he has had on every one of us (and the entire world for that matter). I personally was affected by a sadness I never expected when I heard the news.
HOWEVER, I find it ridiculous that literally every single story on the HN front page is about Steve dying. I have been one to frequently tell people to keep on topic and chill out in the past, but this just seems ridiculous. Steve has died. It is a sad time for everyone (especially people who ACTUALLY knew him, like his family). As much as I would like to honor his memory, I really disagree with having a separate story for every single person who has anything to say about him. I don't give a shit about 99% of what people have to say about his death and it really shouldn't be clogging up our news feed. Let's consolidate the Jobs posts and clear our feed of the 900 stories stating the EXACT SAME THING.
