Its obvious that you take great pains to provide accurate information, and you do a damn good job. With success comes some degree of jealousy from peers. Being put under the microscope is part of being as successful as Engadget has become, and may I say that you are handling it superbly. M Ryan,

Anyone who has been reading Engadget for any length of time should know what a great site you guys (and gals) have put together. Its obvious that you take great pains to provide accurate information, and you do a damn good job.

With success comes some degree of jealousy from peers. Being put under the microscope is part of being as successful as Engadget has become, and may I say that you are handling it superbly.

Peter and I may be traveling during the next couple of weeks for tradeshows, too, so it's hard to say. But I know there are a lot of people waiting for the next episode, We haven't forgotten or anything, thanks for your interest!

Obviously the stakes are very high when you're one of the top blogs in the world, and this just means that we have to be even more careful than we already are (which is very careful). I'm not going to whine about being the target, but I do wish the community would try harder to get along and settle petty disputes in private without bringing it to the court of public opinion -- especially since we at Engadget tend to keep a low profile and never, ever publicly complain when blogs bite our content or appear to have "blacklisted" us.
