Lets see you are doing an article in which you identify 5 myths, but have
no idea what they are? You sound completely incompetent. Please give up
reporting for some other profession where you can fit facts into foregone
conclusions.

Personally, I am brand new to linux, but am old-hat to DOSk
Banyan NOS and window$. Linux appears VERY secure to
me at first glance. Almost daily, I'm warned from micro$oft of
some new leak or hole that has been unplugged for gosh only
knows how long. You would have more to write about if you
focused your investigation on window$. That's my opinion.

I take it that you've done no journalism. That is obvious.

I have a bunch of ideas that *I* have to answer. I figured it would be
fairer to find out what others are concerned with. That was covered in
journalsm 101. Oh! That's right. You'be never taken any courses in joualism.

I havn't taken any courses in journalism but I have taken a moderate number
of courses in composition and have published professionally. Nowhere have
I ever heard that you come up with your title first and then write the
article to match the title.

Oh! That's right. Most journalism is written at the fifth grade level.

The other thing covered is that you find out the facts before you write
the article. Especially before you concoct a title like that one.
If what you wanted was information you would have asked. Instead you
present us with a preconceived title and ask for input. How do you know
there are any "myths of linux security".

You'll have to talk to my editor. That's how he and every other editor I've
worked wth for the last 20 years does things.

#1: That technical nitwits that need to ask questions like this on
Usenet newsgroups are competent to be published.

Such as? Lessee...
1. completely incompetent -- check,
2. come up with catchy title first -- check,
3. fit facts into foregone conclusions -- close: should be
s/foregone conclusions/catchy title/ ("conclusions" implies
thought processes not in evidence. Among other things).

Sounds exactly like journalism to me.
