The Best of Edw519 - A Hacker News Top Contributor

I like this idea of all the comments being

— thoughtfully written enough to publish

— timeless enough to reuse

— unified enough (on the same topic) to publish together

The only downside I see is that a lot of people are going to try to do the same without it being justified

Thanks, omarhaneef. People like you (many years later) are why I did this in the first place. :-)

Hi, thank you for taking time to compile this.

What about you link back to the original threads, so people can see the comments in context? And also put a link to your HN profile.

Timeless is tough, this is from 2007:

The specifics are not timeless.

The concept may be timeless.

The positive energy that made me do this is definitely timeless.

I'm still here.

Thanks for reminding me why, sorokod.

Best wishes, edw519
