Very poetic.
He made bad choices, and then reacted extremely badly to the rather predictable consequences. I'm not sure he's much of a poster boy for anything much. It's sad, but I'm not sure what exactly we're supposed to be celebrating here.
I love how overblown the coverage of this has been..as if it's driven people to suicide. It's their site, they can do what they want; people are free to leave if they want. Nothing to see here.
Just signing the acetate with a pen (normal, cd-writing pen etc). Hold the sheet over the book and take the picture.

Because of the trillions of dollars of funding it's received over the years.
If you want to make sure he's dead, chuck him out of the nearest airlock!
Shame - you missed a good one. Although there was more variety in 1942 and Vietnam.
