SoylentNews is people
SoylentNews
By now, you have had the chance to read the updates of both NCommander and Barrabas. Nonetheless, you may still be wondering quite a few things about the site and its staff. Here is your chance to ask us anything. These questions can be general in nature, in which case the staff will select a spokesperson to answer it, or it may be specific to an individual. If the question is for an individual, please ensure you identify that person specifically enough.
We will select the best questions from the thread and provide answers to the community. These questions may not be the highest rated, although we will probably use those first.
In keeping with tradition, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one question per post.

Interesting... How is this comment offtopic?

I would imagine this is modded off topic because there is a method to submit stories, and this is not the proper method. Next, the reason why this probably wasn't posted was because its a conspiracy theory, it even says so in the summary.
Why would someone be shocked that the military is the largest customer of RHEL? I mean the US puts insane amounts of money into it's military. When you need to network the complex networks that the military has, it's not shocking they would choose a *nix. Then you look at what Linux Distro has the most support and you arrive at RHEL. I should mention I didn't read any of what was posted in this guys submission, but on the surface I am simply not shocked by this revelation.

It reads like tin-foil nuttery at first glance, but there's actually a legit question there under all the detail. Mods probably didn't read closely enough. This may be a downside to such prolific mod points - modders spend them without checking because they don't have to guard them as carefully.

Well, maybe that's the problem. I mean, if not careful enough, it's easy to trigger the TLTR reaction (too long to read. Get it and TLDR is moot).
Suggestion: if there is a question, with the risk of triggering Betteridge's law, maybe it's a good idea to raise it above those details... help me decide if this could be important/interesting enough to me to give to it my full attention.
(anyway, regarding the submission that's very subject of the thread: I must admit that it's long enough to trigger the TLDR for me)
