Here's a novel idea, but I think you'll like it. (Score 1)

How about Richard's good articles get published here, his bad ones don't? It sounds crazy, I know, to suggest something other than never/always (like a slashdot poll) but I think it could work. In fact, during the "deciding whether this article stays or gets dumped" any spelling, wrong links, other errors or points of style could be addressed and then the articles that stay could be even better.

I think this is a good idea. We already have readers' comments for people to send their unedited ideas to the readers of slashdot. Maybe for the feature articles, we could up the quality a bit. Don't let Richard perform any crazy-journalism-social-experiments on the naive ./ readers by giving him the free-reign Katz got. Act like editors, editors. I know you can do it.
