Why HN links it

Linked from a thread asking whether celebrities die in threes. The only comment says the author responded to a Chinese birth calendar claim on the same topic, so HN readers use the blog for that follow-up.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. Hey dude. I suspect this is a total breach of hacker news conduct to contact you, but I just responded to this Chinese birth calendar thing if you're interested. If you want me to take down any mention of you, let me know! http://kldivergence.blogspot.com/2010/04/other-day-someone-t...
