@Kevin Muldoon - Did you read WLTC when I was a writer there? I challenged Matt all the time. Established some good cred doing so. I publicly announced that I was selling this website when it happened and not too many people were giving me offers for it. They kept asking for stats, conversions and all that crap I didn't care for. It was hard to make a sale. I'm glad I sold it to Matt though.

I invite you to hold my feet to the fire if you think any of the articles I publish are not impartial. Your concern regarding controlling the media is justifiable but only time and my publishing of content will be able to prove to you that it's unnecessary.

Of course, I already know a ton of people will jump on me for the first positive article I write about some Automattic service, even if the praise is warranted. Not much I can do there except defend my position and opinion.
