Aaron is dead. From: Tim Berners-Lee

Repeating with typos fixed:<p><pre><code> Aaron is dead. Wanderers in this crazy world, we have lost a mentor, a wise elder. Hackers for right, we are one down, we have lost one of our own. Nurturers, carers, listeners, feeders, parents all, we have lost a child. Let us all weep. timbl </code></pre> (I'm heartbroken about Aaron Swartz. He had been helping Beeminder a lot and offered to be an advisor, to be formalized next time he was in Portland. He was a wonderful person.)

This response is touching, sad, but somehow beautiful as well: <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2013Jan/0022.html" rel="nofollow">http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2013Jan/0022.htm...</a>

I never met Aaron but I admired his work and his spirit.<p>I'm a little sad there's nothing on the front page of Reddit about Aaron yet.

This is so incredibly sad. I did not know Aaron, but I will try to honour his memory. I've decided to stop hesitating and publish some of my research of the past couple years freely online. I hope others do too.

This is perfect. I have no words.

Just noticing the black "armband" worn by hn today.<p>Many tributes for this impressive man.

Very sad to hear this, RIP Aaron.

I agree. Very eloquently put.

Very eloquently put. RIP Aaron.<p>.

That's a damn fine elegy.

Anyone know which anti-depressant he's on?
