The whole point of VA buying linux.com was to set up a
community-oriented site.  Of course, then they made some extremely
poor choices hiring managers for the site and let it turn into a
complete joke while bleeding money before finally just making it
another (theoretically) for-profit Andover^WOSDN site.

I suppose all of that is their (bad) decision to make, but you'll have
to excuse a little distrust and dislike from those of us who were
volunteers.
