I hope that clears it up.

I'm gald to see you wrote this one. Frankly, I started to respond when I first read this thread, and decided I like your posts so much that I wanted to check my initial reaction some. I was about to come back and post anyway, when I saw Rhui's post, which almost could have been written by me.
I think maybe the sudden attention you've gotten may have gone to your head just a tad. No offense, it probably would have mine too. However, the post
did sound whiney, and as if you had a sense of entitlement.
Personally, I think Palm would do well to get you set up. Yours is a great story and the reviews have been interesting - but it did sound very much like you were making some rash demands, and the "raped rounding third" was way over the top. No one "raped" anyone on this.
That said, I wonder, have you considered that if/when they give you a Pre now, that maybe some will look at your future reviews with a mor jaundiced eye, thinking there's a quid-pro-quo in your writings?
Just a thought...
