I am strongly on Mike's side on this one, because I have seen too many back deals in Silicon Valley. There is conflict everywhere and being married to a Google VP while covering the company is worse than having 1000 shares in a bunch of startups. The truth is that everyone here wants to do the right thing and believes they are ethical enough to set aside any conflicts that may arise. I like to think that I would do that as well. In reality, it doesn't quite always work.
