Is the Andover.net purchase really good? -- 9:44 am CST, Update by The Master

Got a link from Webmonkey today to an article on the whole VA Linux aquisition of Andover.net (the parent company of Slashdot). Interesting article, with a dour opinion of the aquisition.

J.t.Qbe comments: Another "sky is falling" editorial has been posted at Linux Weekly News. Personally, I don't see why so many are wetting their pants over the possible effects this will have on Slashdot. Slashdot never claims to be complete, thorough or authoritative, but they post what they want anyway. If I want complete, I check out Linux Today. If I want to know what to think, I decide for myself. If Slashdot were to disappear tomorrow, it would be far from the end of the world. There's far more available on the net than just Slashdot. . .
