I am....CURIOUS
OS-XP

I saw McBride's letter in Maureen O'Gara's LinuxGram newsletter, which is read by both Linux people and people considering Linux. If I had seen it in the Wall Street Journal, I probably would have written to them, as I have in the past.

I have known Maureen for over fifteen years. I know that she is a fair and just reporter of news, and would print a well-worded reply, which other papers that I have submitted articles to have not necessarily done. She knows that I would not purposely lead her astray, and that I am a straight-shooter. She printed my letter, and Bob's. My letter got picked up by Slashdot, then pointed to by Linuxworld. Perhaps some other more "mainstream" news agency will pick
it up, but I will not have been disappointed by where it has
gone already.

I have submitted my share of news articles to mainstream
press before, and cooperated with another couple of
hundred mainstream articles about Linux over the past ten
years, but quite frankly the best "news" that I can generate
is to more fully educate the average Linux lover with the
proper information so they can go and talk with their boss,
or their educator or their software supplier about why this
SCO fiasco is just that, a fiasco. Just reading an
article in the WSJ is not going to influence someone as
much as having that real, live human being in front of
them who can calmly and clearly explain things.
