I emailed _why once, asking him how I should cite his name in a highschool project I was working on. Here is his response:

  You can use my name (why the lucky stiff) and the date of
  publication (feb 16, 2004 - present) as frequently in your
  studies as you wish, so long as you keep your grade point
  average up and you diversify your elective credits with a
  broad portfolio of subjects.  I am specifically hoping you
  will bask in the study of 1930s Russian absurdist
  literature.  Oberiu is the name of the movement.

  I will never forget you.
Everything made sense after that, and the absurdist part of my world lit class that year.

That is wonderful Sir. How may I cite this HN post of yours? And what subject do you want me to take (remembering that I don't speak a word of Russian).
