I don't mean this agressively: Did you find their method of approaching you appropriate? I assume you got the same e-mail I received. Me, I was not pleased, however interesting the articles.

Nah, I always appreciate being told about language-related stuff. If it's something that doesn't interest me, I ignore it.

Wait, so they publish a bizarre, obviously personal-vendetta-driven "blogs are evil!" article while simultaneously reaching out to blogs to help publicise their other articles?

Does that strike anyone as odd? Or are there two different Forbeses?

Two Forbeses, precious?? ;-)
