It's not going away anytime soon, unfortunately.

I get bothered by it regularly. I don't mind HN talking about it, because the people here are a bit different than the average joe, but...Over the last 3-4 years, i've been approached by three or four different filmmakers, some with fairly serious pedigrees, who were looking to adapt the AMA into a screenplay or documentary. I don't think its right to do that, for a variety of reasons, so I've politely declined. I did one podcast a few years ago that lasted like 3 hours, and just declined another podcast (Reddit's "Upvoted" series) a week or so ago.

Part of why I'm not too hot on talking about the whole Headroom thing is that invariably, people end up accusing me of being Max. Bleh. The guy who did the Vice/Motherboard article at one point even threatened to do as much. Didn't speak with him for months after that little stunt.
