Let me clarify — I didn’t say that very well. I didn’t mean to focus on Pythian or Keith as much as the company with the press release. I was just thinking, what if I’m a company with a product to sell? Hmmm, I will write to Keith… :-)

Xaprb — If you actually read down to the bottom, Keith does state that he thinks it might be valuable for Pythian and asks if folks have used it. Perhaps your reaction would have been less visceral if that paragraph had been first?

I know I’ve posted “hey I got this, it looks good, but I’m skeptical, does anyone have any feedback?” before, to planet mysql even, and I haven’t gotten such a bad response.

Please point any criticism at me. This information was really coming from me through MySQL Magazine. It has nothing to do with Pythian other than that is the only active blog I have currently. I need to set up another blog for the magazine so it doesn’t interfere with my more normal postings on here. And actually, dbwatch did pay for an ad for the magazine for the summer issue. So they are supporting the community and the writers of the magazine.

Thanks!!

Keith

whoa, when did Pythian and by extension Planet MySQL become a cork board for everyone? If I get something that says “FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE” I release it immediately to the trash bin :-) Let’em pay for their own ads…
