I know myself. When Linux Journal (for which I even wrote some articles)

Oh well. At least the threads here have been interesting reading.

I had been
debating leaving Usenix for several years already;
the move to soft copy ;login: clinched it for me.
I have been a loyal nonmember of ACM ever since the CACM was
converted from a journal to a magazine. Usenix didn't strike quite
such a decisive blow when it abandoned Computing Systems.
;login: remains as a Cheshire grin. It remains to be seen whether
I'll continue to scan it in its non-tactile form.
