Because you - you, our readers, our authors, the participants in this process, the people who get involved and passionate and interested - you are the reason for the continuing existence of LG. If you're not there, not involved, and not interested... then LG has outlived its usefulness to the community, and all that's left is to thank everyone who has contributed, publish a wrap-up issue, turn off the lights, and go home. I can only hope that things have not reached that state - and I hope to see those articles, those questions, that commitment to tell me so."

Q: Hey Answer Gang? How do I list files on my computer?
A: Well. You can use the 'ls' command for that! Just type 'ls' at the command prompt. If you
ls -l
By default, the files are sorted alphabetically by name. If you want the files sorted by size,
ls -S
To reverse the order of the sort, you can use the -R option:
ls -R
or combine more than one option like this:
ls -lSR
For more information, type 'man ls' at your command prompt.
We sincerely hope that you have enjoyed this week's edition of the Answer Gang!

ls -R is recursive.
ls -r is reversing the order.
If you're gonna play 'Answer Gang' you've gotta get it right.

At any rate, I tend to view LWN as the gold standard, and have long been underwhelmed by

I think that would be a violation of the spirit of 'Answer Gang.'

Well, if he'd submitted it to the Gazette, we editors would have corrected his
error. ;-)
