(What he actually wrote was, "I really love Apple.")<BR/><BR/>Or maybe the fact that you're interjecting is there was no "non-disparagement" clause in the Microsoft deal? (Andrew posts the text, "You may not display the Logo(s) on any site that disparages Microsoft or its products or services..." As I take it, it's a two-step deal: 1. The sponsorship requires displaying a logo. 2. displaying the logo forbids disparagement. Bottom line the deal forbids disparagement.)<BR/><BR/>So the only other assertion you made that might qualify as a fact is that you have very low expectation of "a blogger who coos 'I love Apple' in the middle of his post."<BR/><BR/>In which case, point taken. I won't coo that. But I will coo this: "I love my Macs and my iPods."Michael Markmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556289806815705670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21517466.post-1163373305230652522006-11-12T15:15:00.000-08:002006-11-12T15:15:00.000-08:00Hate to interject a fact in your otherwise pristin...Hate to interject a fact in your otherwise pristine post, but hey ... <BR/>You write: "one of the strings attached to the offer would have prevented Rocketboom from ever disparaging Microsoft."<BR/><BR/>It'd be better for all of us to know his assertion was wrong AND on par with what one would expect from a blogger who coos "I love Apple" in the middle of his post. <BR/><BR/>That's a straight quote by the way.
