Sorry Rick but if you are opening yourself to the public then be prepared. Personally I think this site is really just a tool for your advertisers. There is very little information of consequence. Everything is just a new this or a new that by one of your advertisers. I would stop worrying about small stones and worry about what you are doing. This is a blog right.

Might be that most of your Viz information comes from two guys who work for the DoD and are often posting things during the day. Wonder why folks get that impression.

A reasonable question. I often post on a news site during the day - (or so it seems) by queuing my posts up the night before, It's actually the "norm" rather than really doing "live" postings - so editors have time to go back in and change something before it actually hits the press (so to speak.) responding to FJW.

As an HPC professional myself, I often wondered how these contributors were permitted to research and post content during business hours. I know that my current employer would frown upon this practice if I was to start my own HPC blog. FJW Rich,

I found the post you refer to - or at least I did - and then it was gone. I guess a group administrator took it down. And rightuflly so. Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced since I'm in the military - but I feel like I know a lot...about the hpc community - and the players - and their reputations. And reading the post that was disparaging to insideHPC was like listening to the lunatic ramblings of Charlie Sheen. Insane - and way off base - not to mention inaccurate. insideHPC is a class act. The person making the remarks is a schmuck and is a poor representation of what this community is all about - namely cooperation and collaboration. Keep doing what you do so well at insideHPC. You have tons of fans out there. Like Charlie Sheen - this person will burn out really fast when he realizes the world is laughing their asses off at him. ah-hah.

That's why I left names out. These allegations were actually retracted by the source in July, 2010: http://lawandmore.typepad.com/law_and_more/2010/07/social-media-one-of-the-issues-it-raises.html#comment Why they resurfaced repeatedly this week makes no sense to me. My Open Letter was simply meant to clear the air and put all this to rest. And after suffering through that Salt movie recently, I'm just not much interested in government conspiracies anymore ;-) Hi Kevin,

I don't supposed you'd be willing to identify that other publication so that we can let them know what we think of what they're doing? Also, do you think that the accusation may stem from the fact that insideHPC used to be edited by John West, who, IIRC, is / was affiliated with the DOD? Kevin Hi Rich,
