The NYT also has an interview with Tomlinson, and a speculative article suggesting email will kill the fax machine (not any time soon). Tomlinson may think he gets a lot of email, but he doesn't.

    The legend of Anne Tomlinson will live on forever.
    The brave girl who fought the evil and cowardly slashdot team.

    I wish I could buy an Anne Tomlinson t-shirt or mug or something to remind of what she did for all of us.
    God bless her!
