Ask HN: Is it wrong to want at least one story other than Jobs is dead?

3 points by dlikhten 14y ago ↗ HN

I am wondering what the view of the community is here... all I see for first 2 pages of HN is "steve is dead" yes I know I get it, its a tragedy, but can we have an umbrella post with links to all sort of interesting stories regarding his death, followed by our regularly scheduled programming?

Is it wrong to ask this?

We have had other stories today. It should not be surprising that the death of such an influential person in technology would generate a lot of buzz.

Do we really need to have someone re-engineer the site because a few people get annoyed on extremely rare occasions like this?

Evidently it is. I have lost the flag ability from over use I guess.

The community submits and votes on the stories.
