My question is why is it only Michael running the show? If these other websites could get other staff, why can't Larabel? I am speaking from a perspective of complete ignorance of what's going on behind the scenes I know, but I would think just getting one other guy to handle some of the news posts could improve the site and Larabel's life significantly... and if he needs more money for that, well, maybe cut out some of the trips? Do we really need every conference covered personally?
As far as attitude goes, it is not my website and I can not really tell him how to write it, but it is true that I started reading Phoronix because it was a lot more positive than some other websites. Now it is mostly force of habit and also for very specialized information (graphics drivers) that is hard to find anywhere else. If there was another website offering similar information in a more productive and up beat manner, I would probably switch to it. As it stands, Phoronix is still the best source for what I want, and Micheal should get credit for that. But that does not mean it could not be made better or even easier for Michael himself.
