This preserves the structure better: > As someone who's never used Solaris [...] I'm curious: can someone [...] Notice that you left out the subject (I), left

  > Notice that you left out the subject (I), left out the verb (am), and replaced a colon with a comma! No, I didn't left out anything important to the structure nor did I replace a colon with anything. The thing is that you and I were looking at two different sentences, because OP silently edited his comment (I only noticed that now). The original sentence was "As someone who's never used Solaris or looked into its merits, can someone comment on why all the nostalgia for Solaris?"

    Fine :) The fact remains: given you knew what was meant, you could at least have answered the question as intended, in addition to nitpicking. (I would never tell someone to stop nitpicking. Well, almost never.) See also https://xkcd.com/1576/ https://xkcd.com/1576/
