Thank you VERY much for the kind words! I regret that I don’t always get the story right, but I do try my best, given the information I have… I also do my best to admit where I’m wrong, as you can see in the example you provided above, so at least my editorial corrections don’t get buried at the back of the paper. That, to me, is the biggest difference I see between the blogosphere and the “real” news: We (well, the “royal” we—I’m speaking for myself here, of course) provide full disclosure to our readers, and allow them to see not only the editorial process that we use to put together our material, but also information which may throw some of our theories into dispute. We don’t try to bury our corrections in a place where nobody’s looking—those bloggers who have tried doing so have quickly been outed by such useful tools as the Internet Archive and Google Cache.

In any case, I hope you continue to enjoy Snapped Shot as much as I enjoy writing it! Thank you for the positive feedback!

Most Respectfully,
Brian L.
