Eeek. No. OK, it's self-serving, but my column still continues to appear in SysAdmin, and there's a lot of other good articles there too. Please consider that before you cancel.

Keep in mind that for some months (especially in the last 12 months), the income from my columns is the only income I make.

update: OK, I come back a half hour later, and this node is at minus 3 XP, and no followup comment. If you're bitter about TPJ's loss, please don't use me as a proxy. If you want the kind of content that I do for magazines, someone has to subscribe. I'd love to do all my work for free, but I have to get paid at some point, or else I don't eat and I don't have a place to live. And thank SysAdmin (and Linux Magazine, and WebTechniques before that) for letting me put my columns for free on the net. Don't be angry with them. And don't be angry with me, at least not telling me why.
