Hi, Though I'd weigh into this debate regarding that other site of yours! I actually answered on your poll for "No, although I did visit the last site I wouldn't be interested in visiting it again", and I'm a bit like the other guy who wrote in. I thought Eye On Big Brother was fun, but I actually found myself watching that ridiculous show just to be able to follow your stuff and I have to say this gave me a love-hate relationship with you! Now that you're doing thisn site the hate bit is gone. So no, I wouldn't be interested in you leaving this for a while to do the Big Brother thing. This is where you belong, Aaron, you don't need to cater to the huge crowds! C'mon! It goes against everything you st6and for, as far as I'm concerned. Consider your personal beliefs before you make the decision and those of us here that respect what you do without having tobase it round the worst show on television. I mean this out of all respect to you. David Hi David, What you have to understand is that the decision I have to make has nothing to do with me simply wanting a big audience, in such simple terms, or "catering to the crowds" in the way which you imply. The bottom line is that this site wouldn't exist without that site, and what catering to that crowd does is expose a hell of a lot of people to something they have never been exposed to before, and get them thinking about things a little differently. It's certainly not about my ego or some blogger psuedo-fame I get off on having. So it's not a case of commercial demography (a straight out "pop" mentality), it's a case of reaching lots of people with an idea or ideas - something using that show as a topic does do. I totally respect what you're saying in terms of you not wanting to have to follow that show! I'm sure you represent a great many people. But please don't think what lies behind it is as basic as a compromise just to get the numbers for the sake of numbers. Thanks, Aaron
