You know this really sounds like "I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favourite shop on the Citadel"?

I'm Coder Shepard and this is my favorite site on the internet.
Imagine being greeted by that in the original voice every time you enter this place.

That just sounds dirty to me

Wow, I wouldn't go so far as to call it crap... Lots of good stuff in there.
Not saying the Astronomy isn't interesting, but I don't think it belongs in an IT newsletter.

You may note that I said some of it is crap. People do seem to be getting their knickers in a twist that I don't find it all to be a diamond of the highest order.

Well, that is knicker-twistable indeed!
I agree though, the astronomy posts are crap 
Not that the Insider peeps should listen to that, you can't please everyone and overall I'm pretty pleased

Some days there are just not enough IT news worth publishing - and one "language popuarity" news per day is still too much IMHO. I believe it is way better to have a slighlty broader focus, after all Astronomy today has more IT tahn most of the research experiments, barring particle accelerators and possibly a few others.

Except most of those articles aren't about the technology behind the research
|

Yes I understand that, but each achievement obtained in that fields is at least partly due to the technology, so it makes sense - much more sense than the thousands of articles summarizable in "<person with big ego> states <technology> is <dead | the future | wrong | misunderstood by everyone besides me>".
Of course this is my personal view

I guess because IT people are more interested in it than other crowds?
Apart from Asterologist crowds, of course

Astrology has no use for astronomy. It uses star 'maps' which are thousands of years out of date. Last thing astrologists need is observations messing up their arguments!

This could be due to my misinterpretation of Kent's instructions. Either he said he "sometimes" throws a space/science article in the Developer News, or "usually" does. I took this to mean, "throw a sciencey one in there every day, Sean."
I may or may not have just revealed the secret sauce.
I apologize for gussying up the Insider with too much science. Kent returns for Monday's Insider and I will prepare for the newspaper flogging I am sure to receive. I will, of course, pretend to have no idea what he's talking about while looking increasingly guilty and sad as he points to threads like this one.
"This Sean. Did you do THIS? BAD SEAN."
Thanks,

Don't worry, this has been on my mind for months (if not years).
Today (actually yesterday) was the day I decided to say something about it.
Why yesterday? Who knows.
You're just in the wrong place at the wrong time

Don't flog yourself (unless you're into that sort of thing).
I like the science-y bits.

The Insider is for CP members and caters to their interests. As pro geeks, most of us are in to computers, science, science fiction, and related stuff. Astronomy is 'related stuff'. We think it's cool.
As far as "IT related news" goes, the Insider covers that the majority of the time.
If you don't like the non-IT bits either ignore them or unsubscribe from the Insider.
