Please do not <snip> in the middle of a sentence.

It is not only rude but could also be viewed as dishonest.

In the context of the link that Karl posted, which you also suppressed,
all I meant is that as an outsider my general impression is that the
times have changed and the LDP has fallen behind. 

Five years ago the LDP was the place to go when you needed accurate
documentation that focused on one particular aspect of Linux .. As a
result, or was it also a cause, of this popularity .. the LDP was the
place where authors wanted to be published. 

Maybe I am mistaken, but I have a feeling this is no longer the case.

Apologies to anyone on the list who might have perceived my remark as a
criticism of TLDP contributors, past or present.

Thanks,
