Yes, HotWired bought Suck. The most egregious gadflies of the World Wide Web, the Sucksters - who write under such bylines as Dunderhead and The Duke of URL - have been taking daily pokes at inflated Web egos since August 1994. Created in their "spare" time by Webheads Carl Steadman (left) and Joey Anuff, Suck quickly became a must-read for Web insiders - especially for those whose pet projects had been skewered. Wired has not been spared: a recent Suck story gave helpful instructions on how to eliminate the advertising pages from the magazine while leaving the editorial content intact. Anuff and Steadman worked full time at HotWired and wrote Suck all night long. I expect to be their next target. -
