    If I had mod points I would mark your post as flamebait. Your arguement of credibility is pointless - the author of the blog has expressed an opinion, and in his declared ownership of the work credit can be assigned. You (and all of the others who mod'ed you "Insightful") may disagree with his opinion, or with his publishing methods, but what is online at Download Aborted is indeed his point of view, and what is being reported on by the Slashdot editors, and discussed in this forum, is that point of view.
