Parent article: An LWN reader survey

For what it's worth, LWN is the ONLY online publication I'm willing to pay for.

The Grumpy Editors here - all of them - clearly have their heads and hearts in the right place on issues related to free/libre software -+but+- the writing style is blessedly free of pounding the drums and anti-[evildoer of the week] vitrol. I believe our editors see themselves as reporters, not advocates. That's a good thing; after all, this is Linux Weekly NEWS, not Linux Weekly OPINION.

I depend on LWN for prompt reporting of security flaws and fixes. Thanks, guys.

Same here! LWN is my only subscription in the last 20 years, online or printed!

Agreed also that the Grumpy Editor series is marvelous. More, please.

Agreed, LWN is the _only_ online publication I pay for and have ever paid for and I am on my third subscription. GE articles are great and often funny.

keep up the good work!

++ again! This is the only thing I subscribe to and I'm frankly astonished that it doesn't have more subscribers. Maybe it is simply because of all the competition - there are so many places to get your news from and most of them are free.

I just got a new credit card and couldn't remember whether that influenced my subscription here, but a quick check and an update to my subscription so it doesn't run out until 2009 and I was calm again.
