“Every once in a while a story provokes a vicious attack from a corporate entertainment cartel supporter.”

I can’t imagine why this supporter would even bother reading your site, let alone posting…unless of course, they are on the RIAA payroll.

I thought that people retired at 65. Except for high-roller Ed McMahon, who was going broke at 85 because he was no longer working.

Jon: Your site is one of the few that I read every day because I find the information on it to be interesting and thought provoking and therefore valuable. Like some of the above posters I may choose not to read about the celebrities, and this is a choice that I can make as can your critics. If they don’t like some of your articles they can read other ones, or if they don’t like the site they can go read something else (Fox News, maybe?) entirely. What kind of masochistic loser wastes time and causes himself apparent discomfort by forcing himself to read a site that he doesn’t like written by a man he obviously doesn’t respect? And why should we care what he thinks?
People’s legitimate gripes should be entertained but you needn’t waste your time responding to troll mail unless it’s for the purposes of public ridicule, such as The Pirate Bay’s series of legal letters and responses.

I like the stories on celebrities.
As a person thats into high-end tech and low-end gossip, P2Pnet is staggeringly well-tailored to my news needs. I don’t know where i’m going to go if this falls through, so i’m going to go ahead and click on every one of the adds on this page right after i post this.

I’m not too interested in the Britney stories or the like. Somehow they just don’t appeal to me. So as you mentioned in response to whomever emailed you, I do as you mentioned in this article. I ignore them and move on. They are well enough marked that you can tell without opening them. To me they are a waste of time. Still, I understand that my tastes are not everyone’s. You’ve made mentions before of view counts and those seem to be the ones that drag in the views so someone is interested in them.

Seems odd that the complainer doesn’t just go fire up his/her own blog and be done with it. Then everything that gets shown on the net, is with his approval so unless by choice, there will never be anything s/he needs to read that jars his/her sensibilities. If you go to others sites not your own, don’t expect it to fall right where you live. I can’t really think of very many places, public media, magazine, newspaper, tv channel, that does that with my own looking and viewing. It’s the nature of the world. If someplace disagrees with you enough to jar those sensibilities, then go pick you another place. It’s just that easy.

But then if you wanting to just bitch and moan about it, then the message gets lost fairly quickly. It becomes evident very fast what the real deal is. I don’t have much patience for that sort of thing. There are enough idiots on the net without me assisting them in spreading their dubious joy. Say what you gotta say and if it don’t suit you, move on.

*2nd post, don’t know what happened to the first one*

Thank you, Jon, for continuing with this website, despite the difficulties you have had and are continuing to have with it.

PS: I gave in and clicked on the screen cleaner yesterday, and oddly enough my monitor doesn’t look any cleaner. I’d like a refund, please!!
