Ahhhhhhhh, after getting a couple posts up and working my way thru your whole 3 part series all the way back to here where I started, I can say good times man.
I like the brutal honesty too, and hope others can learn from this, myself included, there are some nuggets here top to bottom.
Some of the Verge comments made me honestly snicker outloud LOL.
Great work, I say again.
