Sorry, Didn’t mean to sound cranky, Am working on two posts which are borderline rants, and it’s bleeding over into my regular writing.

Yves,
No problem and I should have looked more closely at the author and who was citing him. I wasn’t banging on you. It’s just a pet peeve.
At the same time, don’t be so thinned skinned. I’m not Gasparino.

Tom,

The quote came from the Martin Wolf article in the FT, and the link was provided. If there is a problem, it’s old media, not new media.

So what’s the point on the Vitousek comment. I like your blog but posting comments that have no supporting data is one of my pet peeves when is comes to Web 2.0. Does he want to roll back the clock to a time of his prescription or do we accept change?
