I think the more news links the merrier. I don't get those folks who think news links should be rationed so-many-per-poster like blog posts. News links are, after all, by different authors than the poster.

And I think complaining about new posts making others scroll away is ridiculous, it's like complaining about "too much content" on a site. Especially when one can easily open the full page by clicking "more" and click again for previous page if you've missed more than a full page since your last visit here. The only thing I appreciate along the lines of space saving is that if someone has recently put up an article directly on topic, that one posts more on same on the thread as a comment. But that's because I like the collaborative nature of doing that, collecting all recent articles on one topic together, not because it saves space. For me, a fast scrolling  "In the News" section is better than a slow moving one.

I think Versha Sharma did a great job when she worked over at the Cafe.  Cool.  Welcome.  Nice work Michael.
