Bruce Steinberg was the best Linux Journal reader I ever had, qualifying on the grounds of correspondence volume alone. His letters to this one editor were always long, and always thick with good humor, good advice, and rich history. Bruce was a Unix/Linux geek of the first water, and worked for many years at SCO, long before that "brand" was shamed at the end of its life. He was also a veteran of the rock & roll world, and knew more about the band Tower of Power than most people know about life. (It mattered to us both that the band, at the time traveling under another name but using the same horn section and singer Hubert Tubbs, played at our wedding.)
Thank you for posting this, Scott. I enjoyed the read. I wouldn't have seen this otherwise. I haven't purchased Linux Journal since they copped an attitude in 2007. I don't take boycotting lightly because my personal boycotts are forever.
I try to be choosy. ;-) The third paragraph of Bruce's quote resonated with me. I'm impressed they let Doc have such a long quote from him, visceral language not withstanding..
