Hi Ben,

Just one wee correction. Scott didn't bully me into anything. I had written my "retraction" (in your words) weeks before.

The more I re-read Scott's comments though ... the more I want to retract my retraction. I've been thinking about the whole personna thing and it pisses me off. Like you say, we only give Scott's opinions weight because of who he is. So if he's not who he says he is then who is he?

Also, I don't like main-stream media. Most of ot is dumbed-down fake junk. What I like about new media is that most of it is real. In an old-media world it's normal for people to be fake like Scott claims to be, but in new media it's not, and I don't want to see it become so.

Bart.
