Heartily agree! The Grumpy Editor series alone is worth the subscription. OK, make that ~~somewhat~~ a lot less, the other stuff in LWN is very valuable.

One thing that annoys me is that if you post a comment, afterwards you are placed at the top of the original article again, if there are many comments you need to scroll down quite a bit to go on reading. And what I like a lot is the mail of responses. But the HTML --> text loses too much formatting, <blockquote> in particular gets completely lost, and so quoted stuff doesn't get its distinction. Perhaps mark with "> "?

I do like the current left bar with Recent Features a lot.

Would it be possible to mark "old" (already read) comments somehow? I do revisit old articles, and then I'll be probably more interested in comments left after my last visit.
