Lol. I am also a father, and know exactly of what you speak. :-) The hyperlink (which was provided to TLUG earlier today) is the kernel of my thought; my suggestion is to "activate the marketing potential"* of /. - by re-wrapping the original thread in a question posed to "Ask Slashdot." The whole idea of "anonymous journalists" is reminiscent of recent articles in the mainstream media about the quality of certain Wikipedia entries. Regardless of the quality of /. articles, editors, or commentators, it remains a communication nexus. Just a thought. * By this I mean, encouraging communication among those who don't belong to the group "readers who would benefit" - a few years ago it was conversations such as this that drew me inexorably into the world of FOSS. -- Scott Elcomb http://www.psema4.com/ _______________________________________________ Es4-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es4-discuss
