Speak Freely To Be Withdrawn January 15

wrenhunt writes "The Speak Freely site has this: 'On January 15th, 2004, Speak Freely will be discontinued and removed from this Web site. Existing users may continue to use the program as long as they wish, but no further releases will be forthcoming. For details and the reasons why Speak Freely is being discontinued, please see the full end of life announcement.'" The reasons are various and interesting; it's graceful of the author to provide an explanation of why a piece of software is going away.

Even more pathetic than complaining about complaints about duplicate /. articles is complaining about the complaints that are complaining about duplicate /. articles. Word.

Al Gore never claimed he invented the internet.

Quit believing the right wing media.

AOL-TimeWarner is the parent company of CNN. They are a mega-media company. They are controlled by millionaires. They want agressive expansion and the ability to buy up more media outlets.

So yes, they are part of the right-wing media because they kiss Bush's ass. How could a "left-wing" company spend so much time wailing on Clinton???

You're not thinking like a /. editor

Since when do /. editors think?

I thought that, aside from Pudge, the whole scheme was to be as anti-journalistic integrity as possible. Clearly, thinking about their jobs would run counter to that...

</troll> :-)

So, since I'm already whining about journalistic integrity, would it have killed them to come out and say what Speakeasy is / was? As is too often the case, this writeup leaves me none the wiser as to what they're talking about, or why anyone should care...
