Let me, instead of repeating myself, just link to my reply:

In short, I think it was fine, just tell the interviewee next time that too much marketing speak is not so much appreciated on this site. Otherwise, it was interesting and complete. Keep writing ;-)

Maybe LWN could offer interviewed people some www-page where they can paste their reply text and it will give back a "marketing smell" index, with a scale from "geekspeak" to "vomit inducing PR speak"?

That rating page could use e.g. Bayesian spam filtering to categorize the answers. There could be another page where LWN subscribers could feed these filters with content that triggers their bullshit alarms.
