Well, I have LWN in my feeds, and although the occasional interesting 
article comes up I have as yet failed to see anything (even those 
subscriber-only postings) that even motivate me to find out how much 
they charge. They're cool enough, but if they want my subscription (and 
maybe they don't) they'll have to step up to the plate.

right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
