What an unkind title. Rest in peace Aleksey and thank you for the countless hours of entertainment you gave the internet. Impossible is nothing, sometimes we just need to be reminded.

Edit: looks like the title has been updated

I totally agree with this. Considering some of the recent threads happening around suicide, people being civil about reviewing open source code etc., I thought mocking someone who recently died was in very poor taste.

The title here originally followed the guidelines and used a slightly abbreviated version of the title on the submitted item. The mods have changed it, possibly because they, too, thought it was unkind.

My curiosity has overcome my propensity for courtesy, so I must ask: what was the original title?

[glhaynes]

It referred to him as an "Internet laughing stock".
