Just as you can post what you like on your weblog, if
someone wants to post about PDC on their weblog, they
can.
If you don't like it, don't read them. It's really that
simple.
Roy,
As the PDC hypster #1, I agree.
Let's just share what we know.
Plus, it invites people to try to get you to leak what
you do know if you admit to knowing anyway. And, it puts
you on the radar screens of the NDA police.
Part of this is just a frustration of knowing we can't
talk for a month.
Damn it's hard keeping your mouth shut.
Sorry you won't be coming.
By the way, you added to the noise level. I didn't see
the post you linked to on weblogs.asp.net but I saw your
post.
That's one thing that's different about weblogs than
newsgroups. you can avoid the posts you aren't
interested in.
But, not when they get aggregated into the .NET Weblogs.
Damian: I agree. It's their weblog and they can post
whatever they like. This, however, is *my* weblog which
means I can say what I think about people who take joy
out of saying "I know and YOU don't!".
Free speech, you know?
So It's my total right (just like it is theirs) to write
out stuff that might disconcern other people. However, I
try to keep that stuff to a minmimum, and only wrote
this when I reached the point of no-freakin-return.
Scoble: rather than answering "for
real" you circled around and tried to find an
interesting comeback. It's real easy to find easy
comebacks for almost anything you know? But answering to
the point, which if you had not written those last 3
lines would have been considered such an answer, is a
much harder deal.
I am going to stand on neutral ground as to what can or
can't be said about the PDC, but if you're interested I
posted the list of products I received as a Student
Ambassador on my blog.

I couldn't agree more. And yes, Scoble is right up there
with the best of them. True, people can say what they
like, but it is getting a tad repetitive.
I like the ones that say "I had so much trouble
booking a hotel room". And I can't wait for the
inevitable "Only 1 week, 3 days, 12 hours and 4
minutes to go"....
but Matt - you don'th ave to wait for that ...it's here:

(sorry - couldn't be helped).
I don't disagree with what you are saying. I actually
wrote about the fact that I was annoyed by the noise
when I wasn't going (though for quite different reasons)
and then felt a little guilty mentioning it after I
decided to go after all
