nix and drag are value-add

Well, I for one find both your *and* drag's posts among the most interesting and informative. You both display deep technical experience plus astute and enquiring minds plus a basically decent streak. Such comments have for me become one of the value adds of lwn.

Sure, drag's posts are somewhat discursive (why is that so bad?), and his speling and apostrophe's leave something to be desired (although they have improved).

(I used to be bothered exceedingly by wrong use of "it's", but now I've trained myself not to notice it where I can't do anything about it.)

A bit of tolerance can go a long way ...

It all adds to a pleasant, collegiate, mug-of-good-ale atmosphere ...
