Wow. *Right* after. That is funny. Honestly, I gotta think LWN turnover is lower than most sites: we are here because there is simply nothing nearly as good in its particular market segment. I'm no kernel hacker, but reading Jon's kernel column is top-notch stuff, and the signal:noise ratio in comments is almost always very, very good. Hell -- I would even go so far as to say LWN played a role in Samba4 finally shipping.

Throw in some Grumpy Editor reviews, top-notch staffers and other contributors, and why would folks like us ever leave? ;-)

Quite so. There *are* things I'd spend my money on before I spent it on LWN, but that's things like food, heat, power, and network service -- things without which an LWN subscription is useless.
