The real problem here on /. is not selling out to anyone,or Jon Katz,or who gets posts up,the real problem here are people who don't care about the things that are discussed here:They don't care about Linux or Free software,the don't care about science,sci-fi,world issues,they don't give credit where it is due to everybody who makes Slashdot intresting.These aren't nessearily all new users,because some of us(I am one of them...started reading about 7 months ago) really do care about the topics on /. and post intresting and/or funny comments.

What people need to realize is that while Slashdot is essentialy a democracy(anybody can voice their aggenda or belifes here),but what some people don't realize is that:

*You don't need to read articles you don't want to read
*You shouldn't post something if it contributes nothing to the disscussions or creates a new disscussion.If your gonna flame the author,then email them.Most of us don't care to see your latest reason to blow Jon Katz to pieces.

So help us fight the decay of Slashdot.Ignore ALL script kiddies,31337 h4x0rs,trolls.Deny them attention and they will just wither in the darkness.

Sorry about the rant everyone.I hope someone,somewhere,got something out of my rambling.Till I post again,
Comrade Penguin
