Thanks from Italy (Score 1)

I've been reading /. since 2001, but more often since 2004. This site has been for me one the greatest source of knowledge and one of the most interesting websites since then. I learned a lot reading the discussions here (I'm a gentoo user because of this site). The constant provision of interesting, funny, nerdy, scientific stories and, above all, the discussions about them are all features that make this place truly unique. The debates here are really useful to point out one's flaws, biases and mistakes. I'm a bit bashful but, believe it or not, I also found appealing the "social" debates that sometimes arise here, e.g: the discussion about nerds' virginity/lack of social skills or stuff like that (I do have a little social life but I have one, I assure you!). The idea of a periodical publishing of a collection of the best comments (that someone has proposed before) could be a boon to /. visibility, but I don't know if it will generate any revenue. It sure wouldn't be weird to see /. as a popular-science-technology magazine.

Finally, I want to thank all the people that made this site and all the people that keep it running. I hope it will remain integer and interesting as it has been till today.

PS
I'm Italian, I apologize for any mistake I made.
