schestowitzWe have a lot to say, but we're lacking capacity.Oct 15 07:38
schestowitzFeel free to reproduce any of our articles, parts of them, or full text. We're very lenient...Oct 15 07:38
schestowitzWe saw and linked to your recent articles. They're good. TuxMachines and Techrights highlight these articles.Oct 15 07:39

schestowitzIf you wish, we can federate/syndicate in Techrights some of your articles for broader reach? That last one attracted quite a few comments from journalists... in "social media".Oct 15 07:39
schestowitzThere's few of us preparing articles/rebuttals and we have full-time jobs aside from that. Any help would be vastly appreciated. Even if as little as allowing us to cross-post with attribution to the originals. I think it's safe to say we like -- and agree with -- everything you're publishing.Oct 15 07:39
