Good morning Curt,

Incidentally, if you're worried about corporate types and their quest 
for the almighty buck, I'm not so sure you should consider Wired the 
last bastion of truth and freedom.  The mag is owned by Conde Nast 
Publications *, a gigantic conglomerate which also happens to own:

The New Yorker
GQ
Vogue / Teen Vogue
Vanity Fair
Glamour

Nearly 20 magazines in total, I believe.  Oh, and the fun doesn't stop 
there.

Conde Nast is owned by Advance Publications, which also owns "Parade 
Publications, Fairchild Publications, American City Business Journals, 
the Golf Digest Companies, and newspapers in more than twenty American 
cities; Advance Publications also has extensive interests in cable 
television, as well as in Internet sites which are related to its print 
publications." *

Take from this what you will.

Sincerely,

Cael
