exactly!
I can see it now and I even commented on it that when Valve release STEAM/SOURCE for linux (as I do believe some day in the future it will happen), Phoronix/Michael will be all over it "see see I told you that it was coming!!!"
The issue I have with the sensationalistic rumour driven journalism that is employed by Michael is that it gets peddled as fact far to often.
I have no problem with a rumour/hint of something being reported... but to stubbornly stick to a jackanory tale in face of other mounting evidence - I mean go back and read some of the other articles where he holds onto the "it will be released this summer" and upto when valve publically announce "no client due" - He basically belittled those who didn't believe him.
Fact is we didn't believe because no citable proof was provided WHILE there was signs it was not happening (posta3 being pulled for linux...)
Its happening again, no real proof... a screenshot of some email doesn't count - like I said some link from a valve controlled domain.
Let it be recorded now: Microsoft will release office for linux.
You heard it here 1st and I believe that some day it will occur, doesn't matter if it is 2years after the fact or 10years! I said it would happen

If Valve was doing something for Linux, they'd know that sending an e-mail about a Linux programmer to a Linux news site (?!?) rather than through more discreet channels would be tantamount to announcing it, so why not just put out a press release/announcement? That's another thing that doesn't make any sense. It would be like Angelina Jolie e-mailing the National Inquirer tabloid and asking "You cover a lot of celebrity divorces... can you recommend a good divorce lawyer?"
