My point was more that if you think Svbtle has value, it shouldn't be dismissed just on the grounds that Dustin Curtis is a pundit. And on that point I think everyone agrees. The people you are replying to aren't saying that it has no merit because Curtis is a pundit. They are saying that it doesn't have merit because he is a pundit. I saw that unknown, unqualified project of completely unknown merit linked and heralded across the net. Why? It certainly isn't standing on its own at this point.

Right, but I'm not sure if the distinction is always that clear. Having a negative opinion about him because "he hasn't done anything" can also easily color your perception of Svbtle itself (insert link to Wikipedia page about some psychology principle here). And I might be wrong, but I thought that the publicity was due in big part to the Svbtle vs Obtvse controversy. If he got all that coverage just by being Dustin Curtis then I guess I'm even more impressed with him…
