The closing sentence of Jobs’ letter, says this:

“So now I’ve said more than I wanted to say, and all that I am going to say, about this.” -Steve Jobs

I personally find it odd that the minute a person begins to look gaunt and below a healthy weight, people and the media jump all over it. However, I’d like to take a poll of the number of overweight, heck, obese CEO’s and politicians. All of which the media generally ignore. Obese individuals are at great risk of heart attacks, diabetes and other health ailments, yet the media does not pressure them to confront their health imperfections on a public scale.

I applaud Jobs for communicating his disdain for the pressure-cooker media. I also applaud his hint that he is not going to talk about his health anymore (at least unless it started effecting his work at Apple.)
With Apple selling well over ten million iPhone’s, and still counting, perhaps the media should lay off on the ‘Steve Jobs is dooming Apple.’ stories and stick to the impressive facts on this soaring company.

I posted my thoughts on his health on my blog:
