As many of you already know, Forbes continues to sponsor a man known variously as Daniel Lyons and "Fake Steve Jobs," and possibly several other pseudonyms on online forums and discussion lists. For many years, Lyons has sought to publish articles that are oddly skewed against Linux, the free software movement, open source software development, IBM, and other things that are individually or collectively distasteful to the Microsoft Corporation. Recently Daniel Lyons has taken his antagonistic editorialism to a whole new level by creating a shabbily crafted Blogspot page called "The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs." There are many things wrong with this situation, both outright and potential, and the fact that Lyons continues to have Forbes' blessing to harm innocent people suggests that there is some kind of hidden motive behind his efforts. No person with a properly functioning brain would openly and continually behave this way unless there were a very good reason. I mean to discover that reason and publish an article explaining it in detail, so if you have any information about Daniel Lyons that you think might possibly be helpful to my article, please feel free to contact me at jem at thejemreport dot com, through our forum, or by telephone at (585) 414-5042. If you wish to remain anonymous or if you want to tell me your story without being on the record (meaning you will not be quoted or mentioned in the article at all, and the information you provide will not be printed if it can't be attributed to another source), that's fine -- just say so.
