Yes, indeed! I just saw that post yesterday. Highly recommended read.

Does -/+ buffers/cache mean subtract out the buffers and add in the cache?

Something like this:

  [-/+ buffers/cache#free] = [Mem#free] + [Mem#buffers] + [Mem#cached]

  [-/+ buffers/cache#used] = [Mem#total] - [-/+ buffers/cache#free]
