The problem with this conspiracy thinking... (Score 4)

is that when the LinuxStart calendar item ran in JULY 1999, neither LinuxStart nor LinuxToday was owned by internet.com. At the time the supposed conspiracy occurred, LinuxStart was owned by Victor Goodman and LinuxToday was owned by Dave Whitinger and Dwight Johnson. It would have been rather impossible for a conspiracy to occur when the two sites were under different ownership. ;)
