Cool, you seem to have a nice thick skin most of the time. If I played more video games (just can’t find the time, compared to other choices), the PS3 would my system of choice (though we did buy a Wii, as my wife and kids wanted one, and didn’t have an HD tv at the time).

Wish I had a PS3 sometimes though.

Mike: This one’s just from very devoted PS3 fans defending their console in online forums. I get that. (The PS3 is actually my system of choice, even though I have them all.) But they’re misreading what I wrote as some kind of attack.

The other incident, about Sirius, was due to crazy Howard Stern fans and stockholders (one and the same) being funneled to the blog by Google Finance. I didn’t have the heart to tell them that, as a longtime DirecTV subscriber, I still have access to Sirius XM (and Cinemagic!) via the satellite TV service in my home. It surely would have sent them off the deep end.

Thanks so much for your kind words and support.

wt* happened to the respondents to your articles lately Randy? Geeze. I, for one, have appreciated your work (especially when giving us information about buying electronics and pointing us to great sites on the web). Your work isn’t perfect, but the anger you’ve gotten the last few weeks is bizzrro.

Ryft, I was quoting you. That’s why I used quote marks.

You used “there” when you should have used “their” in your last comment

Ryft: I used a literary technique known as summarizing another article and linking to it. “When they were introduced” = “there release time.” It’s a historical FYI. What can’t you understand about that?
