ZD-Net Plays you like a TOOL
Everyday I look at the newsletters I get in my in-box and just about everyone of ZD-Net's offering is TROLL BAIT.

ZD net is the FOX news of IT. And the ZD net message boards are the IT equivalent of Yahoo message boards. The editors of ZD-Net are shameless regarding the headlines that they post on their newsletters. It serves to do only one thing... To pit you IT Jethros against each other, so you post to their message boards, and boost traffic? After a while it is like watching people pound sand. Absolutely Pointless.

Try this. Take a look at the InfoWorld newsletters and you will see what I am talking about: http://www.infoworld.com/
