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.

Just wait until PG writes an essay about all this...
