And now Kircaali _claims_ to "get it." On the main page of linuxbuxinessnews.com is this: To Our Valued Readers: (May 13, 2005) - Our syndication arrangement with LinuxGram has recently ended after ethical questions raised by our readers in one of the stories published in last week's issue. I agree with their view on this matter; therefore I pulled the article shortly after it was published earlier this week. I apologize to our readers, to the open source community, our LinuxWorld editors, and Ms. Pamela Jones for publishing the article. Fuat Kircaali Publisher, SYS-CON Media
Can't say I believe him much, despite what Tony Mobily says about his change of heart (http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/free_issues/pills/fuat_kircaali_int erview/). After the interview, this looks like pure damage control to me.

An interview with Fuat Kirccali, owner of Sys-Con Publications, was published in which he made it quite clear that in fact, his only problem with Maureen O'Gara's story was that it caused people to make calls to his advertisers and DDOS his servers (maybe; there's some speculation that the DDOS was, indeed, just the good old Slashdot effect), and that he stood by it as responsible journalism. As a result, James Turner, DeeAnn Le Blanc, and Steve Suehring of Linuxworld magazine have all resigned from the Linuxworld editorial staff.
