Shouldn't this have a "(1939)" suffix on the title according to HN rules? ;)

  Should it though? I don't see such a rule.

    Why should anyone know or care about it then? This is not a static platform with a static userbase.

    another unwritten rule: don't take everything too serious that you read here ;)

    Then you should adhere to yet another unwritten rule while we're at it: Don't use smileys. Especially not to change the meaning of your statements. You can just drop them and say what you mean, that makes communication easier and clearer. This is not facebook where people talk via emojis.
