I'm not meaning to sound rude, but why were these articles posted to  
list?  I mean, Open Source stuff is definitely relevant, but it's a bit  
much to get some big texts without getting even brief context as to why  
they're relevant on this list, so I know why I'd want to read it-  
(besides it's sitting staring at me from my inbox, like 100 pieces of  
other unread mail...)

I'm not meaning to discourage interesting article re-posts here, but  
I'm just groping for context- and I'd think most folks on list have a  
lot of info to deal with daily...

Rocket-
