He's wrong; you're (not surprisingly) wrong. Wired, the magazine, is no longer what it once was. -Declan On Fri, Feb 23, 2001 at 03:41:27PM -0600, Jim Choate wrote:

From the Sunworld article:
"When he was a fledgling cyberjournalist, Quittner wrote a puff piece in Wired about the principal members of the EFF that equated them with Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters of the '60s (in fact, Stewart Brand was a Merry Prankster)." Funny, Brand doesn't mention that in his resume (via http://www.well.com/user/sbb/). Maybe he was wrong, too... (or maybe I'm wrong ;-) I sent feedback to Wired online recently mentioning my plans to not renew my Wired print subscription (after subscribing since Vol 1 #2) [yes, I know online & print are not the same...it was just a footnote to feedback about an online article]. The incredible number of ads are bad enough; my main complaint is there's just never much content, other than some (generally out-of-date) technofetish and pseudo-celebrity interviews. Plenty of ads, though. Did I mention the ads? -- Greg On Wed, Feb 28, 2001 at 06:27:23PM -0500, Declan McCullagh wrote:

Hmm. The author of the article and Choate, if I recall the original message properly. Both seem to be attirbuting a cyberlibertarianism to Wired that is no longer present. -Declan On Thu, Mar 01, 2001 at 11:02:22AM +0000, Ken Brown wrote:
