regardless of who it was aimed at, it ended up on the front page of reddit. and we all know how reddit is about believing stuff, and then how they react when they find out they've been 'lied' to.

i'm sure at least a few people have threatened to kill raganwald's cats by now.

Strangely, the amount of anger people feel when their beliefs are revealed to be false is proportional to the leap of faith they had to make to believe them in the first place.

Think of that leap of faith as being personal investment.

Did you read the comments here? Because the HN comment thread was full of people that thought it was a real letter.

There are plenty of good reasons to take shots at reddit. This one is stupid.
