Reiser leads police to wife's body (MercuryNews)

"As another sub-topic I would like to suggest to the technical community at large that
ill-advised attempts at humor like this one are in poor taste at best, and downright cruel at
worst."

Well, this case does hit close to home in many ways. Not as close as is the case with Hans's
and Ninas families, but still. And humor is one of the primary coping-mechanisms people have.
If we couldn't laugh in face of tragedy and hardship, we would go insane.

That said, I haven't seen much humor in this discussion. Maybe the comments about trees
(dancing or not), but I fail to see how that humor is in "bad taste".
