Re:Link to the original article (Score 1)

I just want good links on the homepage. Yours. Mine. The bins. Your words. My words. Whatever!

I agree with you regarding having good links for the homepage, and I understand your perspective. I think we differ in what we consider an article to be. Say we define a submission as some proposed text for an interesting link. If I submit something which gets edited in some way you mentioned, then is my username/url really relevant anymore? I understand that within slashcode someone is credited with the submission, however, it might be more reasonable to have that person be you with a link to the slashdot user who made the original submission.

In any case, I'm not really interested in who gets credit for a submission, but I am interested in good articles. The topic here seems to be that there is some combination of credit for submission and quality of article that leaves the community wanting, submission volume aside.
