Quoting Bobbie Sellers (bliss-sf4ever at dslextreme.com):

So, the responsible way of saying would have been 'Michael the
Slackware user is a little out of joint, as he thinks Slackware is going
away.'

Or, better yet, you who read Distrowatch and certainly should have
suspected misinformation, could have double-checked before repeating
something probably without foundation.  And maybe after spending two
minutes checking, you could have added '...he thinks Slackware is going
away (but I checked, and don't find any evidence of this.)

> Who can tell...

You, for one.

Actually, good information abounds in the Linux information sphere, 
that makes it easy to counteract misinformation and mistakes.  All you
need to do is care about being credible.
