And now that I know... thanks buddy! I think you know me well enough to know that: 1. I'm a huge fan of good writing 2. I'm not quite capable of the calculation you describe, or at least not consistently. I insult people all the time just who can royally screw me. I think Mike Arrington is wrong about a lot of things -- and I haven't pussy-footed around about that -- but like you, he has the guts to say what he thinks, in a compelling and interesting way, in a world where almost nobody does. And I'm tired -- really, genuinely tired -- of his being attacked for it. I don't know the dude that well, but I know that it affects him, it would affect anybody, and I like him.

I think Mike Arrington is wrong about a lot of things — and I haven’t pussy-footed around about that — but like you, he has the guts to say what he thinks, in a compelling and interesting way, in a world where almost nobody does. And I’m tired — really, genuinely tired — of his being attacked for it. I don’t know the dude that well, but I know that it affects him, it would affect anybody, and I like him.

In this case, I think there is. So I agree with Sean Kaye. @jose del moral: what's probably hard for Michael is that he is so accessible and so overwhelmed with people trying to get his attention. My email address is very public, I get 1/100th of the email that Mike does, and I still have a hard time keeping up with it. Then, when I don't respond to an email, I suddenly seem too big for my britches... @paisley: all news organizations cite anonymous sources, but only when there is good reason for the source to be anonymous.

But do you think Michael will keep like that as he starts making more and more money? That's hard. Mostly agree, specially with the last one.

You have to respect that form of total honesty. Like Glenn I find his position on music theft and a few other things a bit stupid, I do admire the sheer honesty of how he just lays it on the line, take it or leave it. This stuff about the source and Google is rubbish. If Arrington believes the story to be true and feels that the source has so much to lose that they need to be protected, then so be it - the effectiveness of the article is not diminished by the fact that the source is protected.
