Anyone have other examples of bloggers admitting that they took a comp and let it color their content??
Seth, one of these days you should learn to try citing facts. I never changed the content of the post. it ran exactly as I wrote it. I made the decision to not name the lesser than company. and another fact, there was no sponsorship involved

many of us realize your life is fulfilled by attempting to stir up controversy. I would hope at some point you'll grow out of that.

but for now, Yawn

Hobo, the point of the post is Uber still gets my business
