I presume or hope that the above and then more from Rob and others is to find its way into our blog? And I can point journalists to it. It's not that I'm "tired" of the endless FUD from Italo—he apparently has little else to do or give meaning to his retirement—but that I'm depressed that the crop of tech journalists have not wised up. But then, they are getting wizened: most that rereport this crap have been doing this sort of meta-stenography now for over a decade. The new journals don't bother with this sort of thing. louis > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
