Personally, it would be nice not to have to work for someone else 40 hours a week, but I don't really envy the 100 or so hours a week you put into Think and your blog.

You both bad-mouthed each other. No difference between you and him at this point. If his parents never taught him the right values, how shall he know? Certain things should never put in writing in my opinion. Talk about it, think about it - but writing should be a big no, no in my opinion (at least on this specific blog). And now?

Seem to me he is missing is old friend and just wrote something to get your attention , nothing to be taken seriously ... When one is successfull , you usually lost touch with old friends and old crowds. Sometime they have weird ways to cope with it. I disagree with part of your post , you want people telling you how to run your business , you just don't want people attacking it or putting your effort down without merits or a serious explanation. You want people like John Chow telling you how to improve your site and ads revenue , you want people like Nate Whitehill discussing the designs , you want Shawn Knight and Stephen Fung to give you a heads up on a cool technology and to participate on it , ETC , ETC , ETC ... The goal of the game is to have fun and make a profit from it , if you loose sight of reality this is what happen : http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&safe=off&client=opera&rls=en&hs=i2H&resnum=0&q=ziff+davis+bankruptcy&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wn Ziff Davis is runned by educated professionnal ...

I think (and hope, actually) most people who run hardware sites or are online journalists understand that anything can happen, and possibly losing our "job" is a serious possibility. But... When people are willing to go out and criticize someone else, especially if they have no idea what they're talking about, is IMO inexcusable. I say to hell with him! :) Keep up the good work!

Unfortunately, it's worth over twice that now. The problem with that is if I sell it and make a profit, I'll have nowhere to live around here because everything else has also doubled. Maybe we should all move near Bob? :lol: That’s what I bought mine for! Unfortunately, it’s worth over twice that now.

Most people who don't make their living online just don't understand; these are the same people that celebrate when they get a tax refund. Back on topic, let Zach think whatever he wants. Like John said, if he really thinks that getting a job is the best business practice, he's obviously pretty ignorant. Back off topic, his condo is only worth $138,800? That doesn't even get you a closet in Vancouver! Maybe I need to move to PGH. Funny, I just wrote a post on my blog about how ignorance is bliss.
