_______________LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT BY SCOTT ROSENBERG (12/11/97)

Hey Dirty, You look like a fool on salon1999 -- "Drudge falls for Yahoo hackers' nonsense." The Yahoo! hacked event was No. 2 on the Associated Press hourly round up for many cycles -- with serious tones. I was the one who was trying to lighten the situation. And I did it hours ahead of your "responsible Net journalists" News.com, Wired News, etc. I wrote in my original piece: "Has the era of computer transmitted disease [CTD] begun? Don't zip up your browsers just yet." Real scary reporting, huh, Scott Rosenberg. My advice: You need to get out more often. "The Drudge modus operandi is quite simple: If a hot story lands on his desk, he puts it up." What desk? I do this from the bathtub. Enjoy. -- Drudge Hollywood SALON | Dec. 12, 1997
