RE: Don't you get it? (Score 1)

I've been an avide /. visitor for over a year and I've never felt like posting. But your gripe changes it. Since you haven't noticed it, the cute slogan for the site is "News for Nerd. Stuff that matters", not just "News for nerds.". This site was created by Rob and his (along with his friends) personalities are all over it. They intentionally let "comedy" crawl all over the site. I have a feeling that this is to lighten up the world a bit...we all know that most news sucks (how many shootings do we have to see in detail to know there are a lot of crazies out there). The wonderful part of this site is that your comments get posted too. I've spent 15 years working in the media and most orgs never post negative comments about themselves. I ask you to understand that this site is about life. Loosen up a little and enjoy the site. If you want only to learn, go buy an O'Reilly book (oops, they have humor too). Just know that the /. guys like to have fun and this site has never been advertised as "news only". They are doing their best. If you don't like it, create your own site and see how hard it is to always be fair. As a last thought, please don't . That accomplishes nothing in life. Do something constructive with that energy like write a USB driver for Linux.
