We're more interested in getting the stories out quickly than we are in making sure every post passes the white glove test.

Some people think it's a Linux site.
To others, it's a geek hangout. I've always worked very hard to make sure that Slashdot matches up with my interests and the interests of my authors. You might be interested in my Omelette rant . Slashdot has been running for almost 3 years, and over that time, I have always been the final decision maker on what ends up on the homepage. If you've been reading Slashdot, you know what the subjects commonly are, but we might deviate occasionally.
