There is another reason to stop subscribing to LWN. When I had to wait a week to be able to read dummy statements from subscribers, I didn't get angry and felt the need to reply.

I'm finding more and more that Novell didn't need Microsoft to get the community divised. We all have different agendas as to what Linux should be.

You should be able to hide comment viewing in your preferences:

I just did that (but at the URL for my account) and it works. I'm now going to turn them back on. Nice feature though if you're tired of seeing comments.

There's more account options starting at:

We all have different agendas as to what Linux should be.

That's one of the justifications of the GPL. We can each make Linux what we think it should be. Of course, political agendas are a bit trickier to carry local modifications to than code, but the principle is still that not everybody agrees on everything, and that's okay.
