If errors in the GWN result in large numbers of emails directly to you
rather than to the GWN, maybe the developer's email link shouldn't be
included in articles and feedback should instead be linked to gwn-feedback.

The GWN is a fairly independent publication, so I think it should be
free to make its own mistakes as long as it retains journalistic
integrity. But perhaps it could benefit from some sort of advisory board
of Gentoo developers/staff?

Thanks,
