So what does this mean for LinuxWorld Expo? Are they seperate from the magazine?

Dee-Ann, I just wanted to say "Thank you" for taking the stand that you did.

Good luck in your future endeavors.

That the three of you took a principled and moral stand will be one of the high points for the community in years to come.

Thank you for your principled stand on journalistic ethics. Please let us know where your material will be appearing in the future. I look forward to reading your articles somewhere that has no association with Sys-Con.

You are doing the right thing, for both business and ethical reasons.

Thank You

I commend you guys for standing up for your ethics. I did not see the article but I will let you know that I canceled my subscription to sysadmin magazine that I just renewed and gave this whole O'Gara thing as the excuse. I sent and email to Fuat and will be following it up with a hard copy letter.

Thanks to all of you for setting a shining example and I will buy any magazine you go to work for just make it known to everyone and I will buy it.

thanks again - oh ya and don't give my name to Ms. O'Gara - I don't want my info published on the internet either.

thanks,

Thank you and your fellow editors that made this courageous stand - please work with your fellow (ex) editors to establish a magazine that upholds the standards that your former employer found so difficult to achieve.

Dee may I suggest http://www.linuxuser.co.uk (Linux User & Developer), http://www.linuxjournal.com (Linux Journal) and http://www.linux-magazin.com (Linux Pro Magazine) as alternative outlets for your work? I used to pick these all up from a small local book store but have since subscribed to them directly.

It's food for thought when the writer of Linux For Dummies takes a moral stand. Bravo, and best wishes for the future!

Thank you for taking an ethical stand! I read Fuat's interview and was nearly as disgusted with his complete lack of "getting the point" and desire to attack the victim as I was O'Gara's original stalker trash piece. They deserve each other, and I take comfort in the fact that they've finally shown themselves for who they are. I can't imagine either will have much future in the Linux/FOSS markets, since the taint of their unbelievably slimy actions will follow them like stink on a dead squirrel.

Well done to you. It's a brave and difficult thing to stand up for your values and I congratulate you for doing it. I'll be contacting Linuxworld with my opinions on that ****ing interview; it's pathetic and sad that Linuxworld is in the hands of Fuat Kircaali, a person who apparently would not recognise unacceptable journalism if it bit him on the butt.

This is a sad, sad day in the history of online journalism, and you took the right approach.

I wish to thank you for that.
