For better or worse, the man has never exercised traditional business practices.



And here I thought I was really beginning to understand how and when to engage in the discussion, yet the HN demigods seem to be proving me wrong more often than not lately...


Well, for one thing, a move like this is traditional. You were just piling more wrong on top of wrong.


Point taken, though I don't think it's unreasonable to say that the headline misrepresented the true nature of the transaction, as a layperson unfamiliar with such fiduciary transactions (notably myself) would understand it.

While lwhi's "correction" better reflected my (admittedly ill-communicated) sentiment, it still feels as though there's a Digg-like oligarchical groupthink seeping into Hacker News as of late, which is no more preferable to the Wild West antics of r/programming... =\


For better or worse, the man has never exercised ethical business practices.
