    In case you missed it, Matt said I wrote “a fair and informative article” in comment #120. And in his entry, he said that “it’s very rude to assume evil or malicious intentions of someone who has been exactly the opposite.”

    If Matt doesn’t have a problem with my coverage of the story, I don’t see why you should.
