Greetings all -

Someone worried that we were already seeing article go by with no 
comments.  That doesn't worry me, really - just means no one was 
interested in that subject.  I'm making an effort to post an article or 
two in the morning while I drink my coffee, and hope others will do the 
same.  And I'll try to post stuff that people are interested in.

But for the sake of interest, let's hear from everyone about what kind 
of articles people enjoy and what kind people don't enjoy.  I doubt 
we'll have a consensus here (that would actually be a bad thing) but it 
will help us all post articles the group likes, and that leads to 
interesting conversation.

I Enjoy:
niche, old, or innovative OSes (VMS, BeOS)
platform/architecture articles
privacy/spying stuff
most Linux/BSD articles
articles that introduce me to software I'd otherwise never have known

I Often Dislike:
political articles on tech sites (I hated the new /. section)
celebrity gossip about tech leads like Jobs, Gates
deep programming stuff (I read it anyway, but I'm not a programmer)
