I wouldn't really say that. It's just that a lot of content of this site is more generalized now. Take for example the articles on the Wall Warts and alarm systems written by David. Then you have reviews of geeks.com products and graphics software from Eugenia. When you add that to articles like this, I feel this site is going into a different direction. It's giving news that geeks like :-) (To Eugenia, David and Thom, please do not take this as an insult as that's not what I wish to do. I actually like your articles)
We’re not experts in real time operating systems or the inner workings of the Linux kernel, nor the finer details of a UNIX mainframe. We need you peeps to contribute news, articles and opinion to make the spread more diverse than just 90% Thom and 10% the rest of the staff.
Look, I don’t mean to be rude about this, but how can you complain about the content of the site when, if you scroll down the homepage, 90% of it is Thom’s, volunteered free. He’s really not being helped here, and if he stopped, OSnews would come to a grinding halt.
The reality is simple, if you don’t like the homepage lineup, start writing, you can change it into something you’d prefer If the homepage were 90% contributed articles from across the spectrum of users, and 10% the staff, wouldn’t that be better? We need the help; it is for all intents and purposes Thom’s blog, but that’s hardly his fault since he’s the one keeping the ship afloat by filling in all the blanks.
I, OTOH, do like the diversity of the topics covered by the site. It feels so Renaissance. Just my $.02, and I know that article's comments are not the best place to talk about such things but if others do already talk, why wouldn't I join for a moment :]
Cheers to all and every contributor!

Yup. It's turning more into Thom's personal blog...
