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.
