@Carl Hancock - Any proof to back this up Carl? Certainly, there is bad blood between Chris Pearson and Matt Mullenweg however to throw something out there like this simply based on conjecture is in poor taste. Could it be that Matt Cutts finally figured out that Thesis was and is a very poor framework and simply decided to switch to something better?? (I can't believe how much I was chastised by Thesis users when I pointed out its short comings when it certainly was not a great framework ever) My point being, Thesis is not a good framework and Matt probably simply switched. Furthermore, since when does switching themes that drastically change your blog? I really don't think it would have been as big of a task as your making it out to be or am I out to lunch? Someone let me know.
