Pros: Broad scope, easy-to-read, descriptive.
Cons: It is less a dictionary, more a cultural sharing. Can be 'technical' at times.

Actually, that link leads back to my user-page. As do similar links in most/all of my 'l-n-m' reviews over the last several years.


The actual suggestion in _this_year's_ invitation essay regarding stealth reads:

"Do not include 'Lean-n-mean' in your review title. Lets do it 'semi-stealth' again, OK..? Restrict any mention of 'Lean-n-mean VI' to the bottom of your product review."


Thanks for the read/rate/comment.
