It's always fun and interesting to read tech news of different point of views. I could have wished it was introduced to me in a different light though. one thing this helped me is that I found a new site to get tech news from.

True. They do. That is why it is always a dumb idea to give these kind of people any opening and bait the malicious-minded. When you say things like "Is this the battle of mainstream media vs. the bloggers?" and things like "Adel Gabot vs. Abraham Olandres", you're asking for it. Don't be naive. Some people will imagine lines to be read in-between; if no lines exist they will make some up - so don't give them a chance. As in the Hall & Oates song, some things are better left unsaid. This is why your post is potentially harmful and counterproductive, and there was no call for it at all. It was ill-advised and ill-considered, and has caused some amount of stress. You said it yourself - you did start a "small intrigue." Fairly successfully too, I think. It's been fixed. I'd just as soon not talk about it anymore, if that's all right with everyone. “some people seem to put malice where there really was none intended.”

Don’t be naive. Some people will imagine lines to be read in-between; if no lines exist they will make some up – so don’t give them a chance. As in the Hall & Oates song, some things are better left unsaid.

(and my being strictly amateur will show in all the silly things i'm bound to say.) no harm in having all kinds of tech or quasi-tech blogs--there's a lot to cover out there, and surely more than one way of looking at a blinking piece of plastic :) well, maybe i should say–at least on my behalf if not of some others–that i’m writing here for no one else’s sake but by own, purely for fun, and not for any kind of money. i write lots of other things for money (thank god, because i’d be chased out of my rented house otherwise), but here i don’t feel responsible to an editor (except for typos and such) or even to a platform. in other words, this is as amateur as things get for me, in the old sense of the word–as a “lover” rather than a pro.
