That's a mischaracterization of the statement you're responding to. Gruber and Thurott's sites are actually a neat microcosm of some trends that they also come down on opposite sides of. Gruber delivers content as a product to an audience. Thurott is delivering an audience, as a product, to advertisers.
My comment was only on the matter of taste that the parent brought up. Take a look at Gruber's rates, he's raking in the advertising money, yet in a neatly packaged way.
I agree with that, and with the proposition that that shows that he has better taste in web design than Thurott.
Agree. But that doesn't necessarily mean that he has better opinion as well :)
Note to self: Never make a joke about apple fanboys. They might have a better sense of design but poor comedic sense and would slam you down with downvotes.
Generally if you have to explain to someone that it was a joke, it was a bad joke.
I downvoted you because you used the word "fanboy". It's my policy.
You sir, must have a busy life here on HN.
Unfortunately, yes. I haven't been able to get it to catch on.
Thank You For Your Service
Or maybe you will be downvoted by all the HN crowd according to the rules "don't call names" and "only contribute with something that adds value to the discussion" and "don't complain for being downvoted.
