OSNews

Thom - pretty much all of your articles read like blog posts to your personal blog these days. I also note, you haven't posted to your blog in months (or at least that was true when I looked a couple of days ago..)

People claim "sensationalism" because when ever you report anything recently, it reads like your own opinion, not objective reporting. That is all.

As an example : I had the perception that you had a complete and utter anti-iPhone stance, but you recently did a 180 on! A month ago you were obsessing about the Pre and pretty much sounded like the iPhone was the devil's own device.

Anyway, I think the phrase that best describes my own personal feelings about OS News recently is - "quality, not quantity". I'd rather have little or no news, but well reported and balanced reporting rather than hundreds of articles that read like personal vendettas* and opinion pieces**.

Things used to be a lot better. I'm sure you can return to that if you stop making OS News feel like your personal blog. I'm sure you'll feel I'm being unreasonable and attack me for having an opinion that differs from your own on this subject, I await the rebuttal ;-P But, I *am* a long term reader though - I started reading OS News when Eugenia moved here from BeNews. I'm not just saying this to be annoying or get you mad - it's the truth from where I'm sitting. Weigh that up and do whatever you see fit with it. Only *you* can make the necessary changes.

* Of course, it is not necessarily always true - even when claimed. That is just my perception of your general writing recently.

** ditto.
