Are you kidding me? The editors there are complete idiots who wouldn't know journalistic integrity if it bit them in the ass (well, with a
few exceptions, but the more prolific ones like CmdrTaco, Hemos, Timothy, Jamie and Michael are utter idiots.) Ditto for the people who
post there, in any given story almost all of them won't have any idea what they're talking about, but they'll post their absolutely
authoritative opinion anyway. It is just about the worst place that I could think of to send someone to learn about using and understanding
Linux. Maybe if you want to get into Linux "advocacy" and daily MS bashing, you should religiously read it, but I'd stay away from it
otherwise.

Honestly, you shouldn't go flaming everyone on this list that isn't some kind of gung-ho anti-MS warrior. There are people here of diverse
opinions and experience, and I think that you should at least respect that.
