		<description>Hi Simon,
the 2 comments were actually written and posted by 2 different people, they did however use the same computer to submit them which understandably may have confused you.

i would like to retract my original comment, since i grossly misunderstood and incorrectly recalled a conversation between myself and another about a separate, parallel subject.

my original comment did not represent the other person's opinion, and it does not represent mine. it was all a big, honest misunderstanding on my behalf. apologies.

i am sure if you say these people are talented - they are talented. i have not met and do not know any of them.

the talented people you mention do not deserve any negative perception that my comment may cause, i hope you remove our replies/comments from your blog to avoid any possible negative perception. i feel guilty for my honest, human mistake and have learned a lesson.

my comment was null.

hoping you have a happy and prosperous 2007.
regards,
anon</description>

		<description>I respect the fact that the above 2 posts from Anon and Anon2 (who incidentally are from the same person) are their opinion but anyone who posts using an anonymous alias lacks courage. I stand by my view point of the original post - if 2-3 people left a company, thats one thing. But when 15+ people leave, that's cause for investigation.</description>

		<description>has it occurred to you that these people are responsible for ninemsn's staleness the past 5 years?

just because someone has a  paddington badge, does not mean they are/were qualified to take their position.
