Re: [tlug] Why I don't read TechRepublic

[CL <az.4tlug@example.com>]

Matt Asay is on my "don't read" list of Tech Republic authors for more 
reasons than just those two examples.  I find Jack Wallen to be much 
more even and balanced -- except for his never ending desire to see 
Ubuntu come out on top of the Linux heap.  I subscribe to five of their 
newsletters and find the usable content to be a very small percentage of 
the total, but when that little bit is good, it is very good.

CBS-owned CNET is downright scary with it's "If you don't shut off your 
ad blocker, we're not going to let you watch this feature." and the 
forty-odd cookies they want you to accept in order to flip through the 
illustrations on some of their product tests.
