You should put (2004) in the headline, or it'll look like Karma Fishing.

I have literally done an essay on this topic every year of highschool and the first two years of college. The same thing just added more words. This was always a reference xD

Eric Steven Raymond[1], author of The Cathedral and the Bazaar[2], also talked a little about this recently[3]

OK, this is getting ridiculous. Is it Repost PG's Entire Archive Day or seomthing? Because so far today I've seen 3 (or is it 4?) reposts.

Normally there's about one a week.

I can't imagine how weird this must get for Paul, I wonder if people stop him at cafes and take him to task over essays he wrote 10 years ago!

I am surprised by the community reaction on the philosophy essay. It's not undeserved, I just couldn't expect him getting that much critic around here.

Oh, come on. I hate to be that guy, but seriously? A repost from 2004, do people even pay attention to what they are upvoting on this site? I've seen so many old posts from Paul being posted lately, why?

I think those articles are a good reminder of what should be the spirit of HN
