        Marcio,
        That is a valid concern.  When I read through /. today I found an entry 
announcing the death of one of my favorite authors--- Kurt Vonnegut.  This is 
the first line from the article:
        "At least twenty-two readers took the trouble to make sure we knew that 
Kurt 
Vonnegut has died at 84. "---Slashdot
        
        I don't know for sure... but maybe they have thresholds... ( I really 
don't 
know how they operate per se ) but maybe they don't publish until they 
receive a certain number of posts from their more prominant users.  

        I think its high time that  /.  gets a flood of posts (not 10, ~150) 
from 
everyone from everywhere...  the more folks that post about openSUSE the more 
stuff is going to get published.  Right?

        All I was showing today was that  /.  was willing to undo the 
unnecessary 
confusion (FUD) that they helped to create... like a retraction in the 
newspaper... I thought is was effective.  But I do agree that its totally not 
equivalent to equal time on the front page for openSUSE vs Ubuntu, etc.... no 
way.
