I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

Meh. I'm not interested in "beating Slashdot" no matter how the word "beating" is defined. I'm interested in "being Soylent News". It was a competition for a couple of weeks as "AltSlashdot" got up and running. Right now, I think we're doing pretty good as our own entity. They can do their thing and we can do ours. Let individuals figure out where they want to be. There is no need to be overly aggressive. We can share. Our stories don't have to come out before theirs do. Honestly, why should a person care when a story hits the front page as long as it is within a week or two of when it originally came out on the 'Net? I read Soylent News to catch the science articles I missed and for the comments. So far, I'm pretty happy. Being the fastest to get a new article up isn't why I come here. I want quality, not quantity nor speed.
On a side note, I like going to both Soylent News and Slashdot. Right now, I find they are very different from one another. (Still hate Beta with a passion.) And before people go accusing me of being a traitor, I put 98% of my comments here. I read every article here, but only read about 5% of theirs.
