I happened to read two or three articles of Dan Lyons (yes, I read Groklaw and tried to find out if Dan Lyons really investigated the facts, or left out unpleasing details deliberately). I found that he not only lacks in style, but in presenting all the facts. It's one thing to be biased. It's another thing completely, to leave out facts you don't want to be true. As Linus said, everybody is opinionated. But if somebody twists the facts to say something what they didn't originally, I don't read his articles any longer. As simple as that. Ciao, Dscho
