Usually I'd agree, but this article did a good job focusing on stuff that I found valuable, because Aaron wasn't just an activist to me, but also a person with whom I identified, strongly at times.

The little bits of new information, but mostly just the reminder of him and his life, which prompt me to read his writings again, and they often help me get out of some funk I might be in and pursue things I find worth pursuing. His suicide is not the main point of the article for me.

As such, this article is, for me, probably the most useful link on HN today, if not the week.
