My dude...this is the best UN-BIASED description of the whole thing! Congrats...on actually speaking up about it all in this way, and not supporting one another's views of each situation. I agree with you 100 percent!
Sometimes it does get old, when some bloggers aren't even trying on post anymore, and they make 100 dollars...when good, important, well-articulated post get swept under the rug.
Good point, thanks for your comment. I agree with you.
