Thanks for the link to that video.
I had one of those spam comments on my blog. I think they found it because I used a free wordpress direct blog using .topicster. I noticed in my analytics that I've had some visits from people searching *.topicster (or something like that).
I'm so glad Ed isn't going to let these idiots spoil it for everyone else. I wouldn't blame him if he did.
What stands out to me in a lot of his material is how much he cares - taking the time to say "don't give up" and "don't use this as an excuse to stop". The more I see of him, the more I like and respect him.
And I agree with his rant about people's negativity toward things like Wordpress Direct. It's pathetic if you ask me (yeah, I know you didn't ask me
).
Why can't people be more appreciative of what's being offered? I know I am. HUGELY.
