Parent article: Letters to the editor

Letters to the editor involve delayed gratitude.

When I want to discuss my numerous patents, my years as a mainframe guy, my insights into the state of the Linux community (which are based on my respected status as a leading, karma-certified commentator in numerous discussion areas on several sites), and my entertaining stories, I don't want to wait for others to be able to see what I've written and I don't want to submit my writing to some so-called politically correct editor who will ruin my words in the name of readability or space.

I will never write a letter to the editor, and I suspect people who do don't have lives. I have a life and I use the convenient talkback features of sites I visit.

Haven't taken the time to say "welcome back to the scene" to Dave W., lately, either. So "welcome back, Dave." Linux Today wasn't the same without you, and now that you're here I bet LT's days are numbered, which is fine by me.

I have to agree with dinotrac. I've been reading LWN since the beggining,
and I've never participated in the discussion. It feels quite exciting
actually - I don't have a /. account, but I can imagine a higher quality
of discussion developing here, (in less volume - also a good thing).

Having said that, I can't think of anything interesting to say :-)

High quality discussion

I think the absence of an `anonymous cowherd' class has a lot to do with that. Still, ACs occasionally contribute very insightful things. I guess the other /. ACs are just there to herd-protect the valuable ones...
