A few personal challenges have kept me away from my blog. Thanks to so many of you for your emails in support. Unfortunately, since I don't generate any advertising dollars here, while that keeps me unbiased, it sometimes means when things get tight the blog pays the price.

I am writing, I am updating the next vendor report card. A lot has been going on in the market, and I have a lot to say about it. Look for me again with another fairly steady rant very soon. I know... promises, promises.

Let me just put one or two rumours that came to my attention aside: I don't have any legal challenges. No one has "paid me off". You're not that lucky.

Thanks again.

Talent.
