I never said that you denied it. I said that you failed to disclose it in your comment. My earlier comment was just a friendly reminder but since you went uppercase on me I'll add that you should know better because of the industry you work in.
- dohertyjf 13y agoYou are correct, I did. Thanks for the reminder, though a statement like "Why not disclose that?" is, most of the time, taken as accusatory and not friendly. But this is not the place for such debates. Let's talk about copyright legalities :-)
- rhizome 13y agoa statement like "Why not disclose that?" is, most of the time, taken as accusatory and not friendly. No it isn't, but it belies a defensiveness and paranoia that you interpret it that way. Why not take it at face value?
- benatkin 13y agoI didn't mean to be harsh in my initial reply, and questions are a way to avoid being harsh. If you see yourself often using this HN account to talk about seomoz I suggest putting it in your HN profile, that way if you don't disclose in a future comment, the next person may just make a note. In fact I thought of doing that but didn't, partly because I was curious whether you still worked for Moz, because in most places, like your blog, it just says "Distilled". And your comment is pretty neutral on the face of it, but if you read between the lines it's a defense of seomoz. That's why I wondered if you were connected to them, since you left the first comment it seemed that you may have received a google alert. Apology accepted.
- dohertyjf 13y agoFair enough. Thanks for the clarification, Ben. Will add Global Associate at Moz to my profile here.
