So... just for the record... this post got up to #1 on HN, and then HN crashed, and is, so far as I can tell, still down a couple of hours later.

When you consider that the Less Wrong site format was inspired by HN, that LW is based on Reddit source code, and that Reddit is a Y Combinator company, I guess that writing about Paul Graham and then getting voted up on Hacker News exceeded the maximum recursion depth of the blogosphere.
