New Another exit.
[link|http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20050516140036121|Groklaw]:

Martin Brown, formerly at LinuxWorld [link|http://mcslp.com/?p=100|explains] his reasons for resigning on his blog.

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575|Ashton Brown]
