It makes more sense to email him direct. Too bad I can't find he email anywhere! I guess its time to start telling the media about this open redirect. Oh well, we gave them fair amount of time.

There has been much fuss about ZDNet being slow or unresponsive about fixing open redirects.
I have a suggestion.
Someone ought to post a message on John Dvorak's blog. I did a search to find the most recent post on his blog relating to spam to find the best place to post.
Therefore, someone please go here and post a message to him to get this message across:
http://www.dvorak.org/blog/?p=1437
(I'd do it myself but I just got over the flu and I'm severely behind in my work. Also, I think that someone with more "pull" than me out to do this... someone like Chris or Jeff. Plus, Dvorak will recognize my name from other very unrelated topics that I've posted on his blog in the past and I wouldn't want to confuse issues with him by using my name.)

Good point. But, I know that Dvorak DOES aggressively monitor posts to his blog and these posts probably are more noticeable to him than items in his regular e-mail. Therefore, please reconsider posting a message to that page.
Also, if you do so, you might want to let him know that this situation has been going on for a while and that there is not much time left before more drastic measures will have to be taken.
