I for one appreciate anyone who goes through the effort of bringing us mentions of Bitcoin in the press or blogs.
Although explicit "thank you"s are infrequent, I think that the majority of people here are always aware of (and grateful for) the significant volunteer time that goes into bitcointalk (your posts and everyone else's on the Press area included), into developing the reference client, and into all the unpaid projects and evangelism being undertaken to expand Bitcoin's functionality and reach. Unfortunately in every community there's always characters who lack manners or have a distorted sense of entitlement, I try to avoid blowing fuses and feeding trolls, but occasionally I also stupidly lose control. Thank you for your words, onwards and upwards!
