If not, let me explain. My statement follows a quote from you regarding IBM Eye being unable to keep a writer, it should then be assumed, based on the context, that my statement applies to IBM Eye. Because you've obviously read far too much into my statement <em>and</em> taken it out of context, I'll ask again, when did I say the whole of b5media couldn’t keep a writer? Heard of context? If not, let me explain. My statement follows a quote from you regarding IBM Eye being unable to keep a writer, it should then be assumed, based on the context, that my statement applies to IBM Eye.

Right there.

Maybe you should have taken the post in the spirit it was intended - a puckish response to your own words. Or did you forget you wrote you couldn't keep an IBM Eye writer? <blockquote>Little research next time please, A.</blockquote> Little respect when commenting on my blog please, Jon. (In other words, learn from Jeremy and Duncan's example.) Jon,

One blog that's hard to man because of its topic is hardly indicative that we "can’t keep a writer" Little research next time please, A.

I'd had to see a blog get shut down, so I hope you can find someone to fill the position, but sometimes it's inevitable. Understandable Duncan.

We're proud of our retention rate in terms of bloggers and we really have very low turn over in terms of writers. IBM Eye is just a blog that we've had a couple of writers on, and it's really the exception to the rule, and as Jeremy mentioned, it's very niche in its topic as well. We will be dropping it if we can't find a writer, some blogs work, occasionally some dont :-) I’d also note in terms of writers that like any network (or company for that matter) that we do have turn over in writers, so leave due to personal reasons, some are poached, some want a change.

It takes a very specific type of person to write about IBM. We're glad we gave the experiment a shot but it was just that: an experiment. We considered shutting the blog down.
