Thanks Jon & co for all the hard work that goes into making LWN
the excellent publication that it is.

I hate to complain, but I was rather disappointed to see the following
crude metaphor:

> So lots of digerati swing around their proverbial phalli and talk
> 'digital rights' this and 'DRM' that, and it becomes a kind of
> high-tech circle jerk that is constraining and ultimately self-limiting. 

This point could have been made just as easily without being vulgar
and detracting from an otherwise good article.

Best Regards,
Phil

It's a quote - not something our author wrote - but I agree, we didn't need that. Somehow I missed it when I read through the article.

A little vulgarity goes a long way :)
