The most interesting material comes at the end: 'There are no grass-roots efforts on the Web. The Internet army, which is enormous, hasn't been engaged or conscripted.'"

Slashdot editor, Rob Malda, found dead at 54.

[Anonymous Coward]

Slashdot editor and gay rights advocate Rob Malda, was found dead at his Holland, MI home early Saturday morning. Malda was 54 years old at the time of his death.

Fellow icons in the homosexual community were taken into custody for a grueling 12 hour interrogation as foul play is suspected. Among those were Eric S. Raymond, Alan Cox, and Richard M. Stallman. They were released for the time being but are not allowed to leave the state.

A reporter said he found among the evidence a rusty screwdriver with dried blood and feces on it, and several 18 inch black dildos.

No other details are available at this time.
