/. only refers to the news.com url which is:
http://news.com.com/2100-1012_3-5069246.html
I quote:

This is not an "evil conspiracy plan" but factual information about a
widely-used-Word-Processor-we-have-to-be-able-to-read-documents-from
announced and expected for some time soon, even if currently delayed.
I would seriously suggest that such naïve accusations (off-topic,
rumour-monger, fud, etc...) should be thought twice before casted, in
the future, since they are extremely demeaning for yourselves.
This is too serious a business for us and other Free Software office
suites to be shrugged off from our "happy-happy joy-joy" world.
