No, actually it isn't.  It's fairly objective, even going so far as to print
glowing articles about Next.

BS.  What more is there to say?

Gee, with attitudes like yours, why would we? :->

Hmm, seems to me that there have been a _lot_ of rumours listed in this group
regarding the Next.  I only see this venom when the rumours are negative.

The title of the article included the word "rumours".  If you don't want to
read the article, don't.  It's as simple as that.  Hey, they're just rumours;
take them for whatever they're worth.  If you're not interested in rumours,
don't read them.

BTW, I received some confirmation thru e-mail that at least one important
person did in fact leave Next.  Can't remember right now who that was.  (Of
course the VP of Marketing, whom I know, did leave some time ago).
