This is what subscriber links are for - when a LWN article is relevant to a specific discussion, a subscriber can use their discretion to post world readable link to the pay-walled article so everyone is able to read the article.... This is one of the reasons I really like LWN and the way Jon has set up subscriptions (and encourage anyone who doesn't subscribe to do so). The paywall is something I *choose* to participate in to get articles as quickly as possible, but have the option of being able to let non-subscribers read articles immediately if *I* consider it relevant to a discussion. That's definitely the case here.... That said, a link has aleady been posted, so I don't have to do anything but cheerlead here. :) Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
