Speaking of making suggestions...

Much of the cause of typo corrections in comments is, I'm sure, just that posting a comment is the tool that's right there when you notice the error; the better (in most respects) out of band method isn't. Heck, I've been reading since LWN had the emphasis on "weekly" (IIRC there would be only the rare, really really timely items posted outside of the schedule) and I'd have to poke around to find the correct email address. Although I am, perhaps, eccentric in that I don't have an email facility directly attached to the browser, even a mailto: link that I can't use directly would be an effective reminder. A "report errors" link to a form might be preferred for spam abatement measure, though I have to doubt that the email address isn't already in their lists.
