I got a letter a while back saying that for every issue of Red Herring I was still to receive, I'd get 1.9 (!) copies of Business 2.0 instead.

Too bad every other issue is missing the last 10% of the pages.

I just hope they won't be as arrogant as they used to be before.
Less arrogant now they're owned by the French?

Personally, I cannot think of a better way to welcome a site back other than slashdotting it on its opening day. Welcome back, Red Herring!!

p.s. Hope your server stops smoking soon!

Indeed! I for one am confident that the French buyout will temper any arrogant and self-righteous behavior.

New NYTimes entry point by Aetrix · 2003-09-25 04:49 · Score: 2, Funny

Red Herring has their own NYTimes entry point/partner link:

&partner=MOREOVER

I guess we can stop abusing &partner=GOOGLE now.
