Guilty as charged about contributing to the problem, but I went to the new queue with the express purpose of voting up every non-Steve Jobs related story I could find, and didn't find many. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

I still assert that it's ridiculous. Hell, the reddit front page is more sane right now than the HN front page, and that's saying something.

The "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" comment was tongue-in-cheek and I apologize if it came off as insensitive.

I have a ton of respect for the guy, and it's definitely a huge loss. But I'm just trying to say that maybe people are going a _bit_ overboard with the Steve Jobs stories. Can you understand where I'm coming from?

Also, for tonight I have been and will continue to be reading reddit, and would appreciate if you didn't throw that around like it's a bad thing -- because right now it's a hell of a lot more interesting than HN. And, reddit has even managed to appropriately pay their respects to Steve with a couple of nice tributes on the front page.
