Yes, having been on both sides of the microphone, I think that's a fair
analysis. That suits me fine. Different strokes for different folks,
we're here to cater to the people like us, there are plenty of options
for people who don't like us.

Whether we're the best of or not, I'll leave for the listener to decide,
but from the first episode, 4 seasons before I became a full-time
presenter, I thought LugRadio was better than the others and I still do.
I guess it's a case of 'best at x' and 'best for whom', rather than
simply 'the best' as everybody has a different criteria for what
constitutes the best.

You're not the only one :)

I can't say I've ever seen you mail the show, that said, even if you do,
we make no promises to read it. Just in case you think it's a conspiracy
that we don't read your mail, each person takes a few pages from the
pile of emails and reads out what they feel like, no particular
discussion about what ought to be read out. It's down to the individual
who gets your mail in their pile.

I like the Linux Action Show actually. It took me a few shows to get
over their hyperbolic Americanisms though. I guess the sniping is my
fault as I started it all by emailing them and telling them I thought
they sounded like Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street and I still do. I
thought they might find that amusing, but I think they found it irritating.

I also listen to BSD Talk now and again, it's not entertaining as such
as it's almost purely technical server stuff, desktop people won't like
it at all, but it does offer some exposure to tools that developing
sysadmins like myself haven't heard of.
