This is the best story on HN right now, it has been up here for an hour and nobody has sought to comment.

It brings insight on a WW1 reporter who most people know nothing of and could be enlightened by. A true literary gem is here.

Had there been a post on something really vital such as that newish function key strip thing they have on those Apple computers these days then there would be 480 comments on how to customise it best for Vi/Emacs.

And then we wonder why we - us - human beings - fall into the same traps of propaganda and war every time.

Thank you! It's comments like yours that keep me writing. And as to your point on what draws attention.. yes, agreed. Recognizing that is a step and I remain optimistic.
