Hey Owen,
I can't speak to my popularity or talent. (Or lack thereof.)

I don't know if I have lost any clout since the re-design. I get more traffic than ever. The site was a mess before, now it's pretty damn good and getting better.

I don't consdider myself the king of anything. Den is the top internet reviewer and always will be. I do my thing and if people come to the site, great.

I'm curious though...what did I give away? People seem to assume sort of control over my site that doesn't exist. It's mine. I do all of the writing (Except for some toy and web site reviews that I've been farming out.) I don't do the design because I don't have the ability to do so.

In short, maybe there are some misconceptions? Maybe it's just part of the fued.

For better or worse, that site is mine. Any decisions about content are mine and in the end, if it sucks it's my fault.

Rog
