Hacker News Reader

This is one of those that makes me ask "why is this on HN?" Not the passive-aggressive "I don't think this should be on HN" kind of thing. More, "no, seriously, why on earth did you think anyone but you would be interested in this rambling stream of consciousness. I'd really like to know because I'm obviously missing something."

View on HN

At least one person (me) liked it, as a rambly interesting thing to read in the five minutes before leaving the office. So - I have no idea why the OP posted it, and it's definitely rather different from the usual things you see on HN, but I appreciate that they did. Cheers :)

(That said, I share another poster's confusion that F-holes are not mentioned!)

Five minutes seems overly optimistic ;)

...splits me in two when I see my eleven-year-old’s body, damp and limp, innocently tangled in his sheets...
