Glad to hear it. I'm not surprised by the antagonism expressed by journalists. I've heard it in the newsroom. People who don't know that I maintain a blog and a web site (since roughly '97) spout the most amazing nonsense about who they think bloggers are and what they do. Even more surprising when you consider that these are the same people who regularly use the internet. They're seeing it, but they're not thinking about what they're seeing. “He’s a reasonable guy and he confessed to me that it was likely that he was having a bad day.”
