The line between posts I'm interested in and those I'm not is not one of technical vs. non-technical; there are plenty of non-technical posts that I'm interested in because the poster has a writing style that appeals to me, or because they're someone I know personally, or because they generally write good technical blog entries so I'm also interested in having a glimpse of who they are as people. Evan's is one of the blogs I routinely skip, because - the blog very much follows a "journal" style, recording the day's events, with the result that there's a lot of content, very little of which is inherently of interest to me - his blog titles tell nothing about the content of the entry, making selective reading impractical - I haven't yet seen an entry of his be about something Debian-related. OTOH, I read John Goerzen's entries because he's an interesting writer. So I don't see any objective difference between these that could be useful in distinguishing between "things that should be on Planet Debian" and "things that shouldn't be on Planet Debian". It's just a line between "things Steve enjoys reading" and "things Steve doesn't enjoy reading", which isn't Debian's problem. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
